Margherita Bassi

Margherita Bassi is an illustrator of life in medieval Cambridge. She has contributed to the creation of bone biographies that shed new light on residents of medieval Cambridge through the University of Cambridge. Her work focuses on compiling historical evidence with personal narrative to humanize people from that time period, pairing them with common historical names and analyzing their skeletal remains for information about their diets, activities, and health. Bassi's research has involved studying bone, molecular and DNA data as well as signs of physical traumas to reveal the lives of ordinary individuals who experienced poverty during and after the bubonic plague. Her work has been published in reputable journals such as Antiquity.

New Study Reveals Chimpanzees Follow Human-Like Communication Patterns with Rapid Turn-Taking

Broke On: Thursday, 25 July 2024 A recent study published in Current Biology reveals that chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, communicate through turn-taking gestures and sounds similar to human conversations. Researchers found that 14% of chimp interactions involve a two-part exchange with an average response time of 120 milliseconds. This rapid communication pattern sheds light on the evolutionary mechanisms driving social interactions between humans and primates.
