科学家称,狨猴谈话时与人类非常相似,也是轮换发言。狨猴比人类最近的表亲黑猩猩更加健谈。研究者记录了狨猴在帘子后面互相呼唤的声音,每只狨猴都会呼唤,并等对方回答后才开始下次呼唤。该结果符合人类轮换谈话的“交替进化路径”。虽然我们在谈话中常常忽视这一点,实际上轮换发言和倾听对于人类通过对话有效交换信息是非常关键的。 (来源:http://www.bbc.co.uk/)
Monkeys “Take Turns in Conversation”
Marmoset monkeys take it in turns to “talk” in a pattern very similar to human conversation, according to scientists. Marmosets are far more vocal than our closest cousins, the chimpanzees. Researchers recorded the sounds of the marmosets as they called to one another from behind a curtain. Each animal would call, then wait for the other to respond before calling again. The results suggest an “alternative evolutionary route” for our own conversational turn-taking. It is something we take for granted in our conversations, but taking it in turns to talk and listen is crucial for us to effectively exchange information through what we say. (Source: www.bbc.co.uk/)
