Lameira, Adriano

Adriano R. Lameira is a researcher in the field of primate vocal capacities and their implications for language evolution. He has worked with orangutans at the Indianapolis Zoo to demonstrate that they possess active voicing abilities through the use of a membranophone as a diagnostic tool. This discovery challenges traditional beliefs that great apes have little to contribute to our understanding of spoken language origins.

Newly Discovered Chimpanzee Recordings Suggest Complex Vocal Capabilities, Challenging Previous Assumptions About Speech Evolution

Broke On: Thursday, 25 July 2024 Two chimpanzees, Johnny and Renata, have made history with their recorded use of the word 'mama,' revealing potential neural building blocks for speech in great apes. Their vowel-consonant combinations challenge previous assumptions about chimpanzee vocal capabilities and offer insights into human speech evolution.
