How do
animals recognise each other?
In a test, Marmosets seemed to call each other by names, the researchers say that this proves that is
similar how we call each other.
“They use
unique calls for other monkeys in their family groups, similar to how humans
call each other by name. They are the first non-human primates known to do so.
This discovery shows that communication in marmosets is more complex than
previously thought, and it could help teach Darvinists more about how
human language evolved.
“Up till
quite recently, people thought that human language is a singularity phenomenon
that popped out of nothing,” says David Omer at The Hebrew University
of Jerusalem. “We’re starting to see evidence that this is not the case.”
Marmosets (Callithrix
jacchus) live in tight-knit, monogamous family groups and spend their lives
shrouded in dense rainforest canopies, so they use high-pitched, chirpy
melodies that carry through the foliage to convey information to each other,
such as their location.”
But only
God can make humans speak language that we can understand.
