- Reposted by Comparative Cognition NeuchâtelWhy do humans "baby talk"? A new study shows we're the only great ape that does so regularly—and it may have shaped the evolution of language. #PrimateCommunication #HumanEvolution #BabyTalk #Anthropology #Linguistics #CognitiveScience @carolinefryns.bsky.social @franziswegdell.bsky.social
- Reposted by Comparative Cognition Neuchâtel1/n Hot off the press! The first empirical chapter of my PhD and the fruit of a hugely collaborative project led with Franziska Wegdell and Johanna Schick is out! We explore if immature-directed vocalisations are present and in what quantity in wild great apes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Reposted by Comparative Cognition NeuchâtelOne thing that makes humans remarkable is baby talk. And that might be one reason why we have language. Here's my story [Gift link] nyti.ms/4k5duXd

- @gwenwiro.bsky.social joined our lab as a researcher. She studies how group cohesion and cooperation promote communication in social carnivores (wolves 🐺 and dogs 🐕) to ultimately understand the origins of human language @nccrlanguage.bsky.social Check out her latest work: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

- Reposted by Comparative Cognition NeuchâtelHot off the press! Is there a pre-linguistic basis for event role attribution? In our new paper out in PLoS Biology, we take a comparative eye tracking approach to explore temporal gaze distribution to agents and patients in dyadic interactions tinyurl.com/mryk7kmb
