About language of the great apes and their relationship with us in the prehistoric past...
Also how difficult it is to carry out "scientifically" supported research...
Cheers, Paul.

Interesting links.
I'm snagging this thread so I can read the articles when I get some spare time.

Paul, while I can't really add any more about the validity of experiments that attempt to teach Chimpanzees how to communicate with humans that hasn't already been said in the articles themselves, I did find an interesting article regarding the differences in throat morphology between humans and the other Great Apes that I think would be of interest to you.

lol,
thank you very much for this additional information. I will have a look at it and perhaps reload it in a discussion on Historum. The same for this, which is not that much in depth but nevertheless it could "ignite" a nice discussion:
But only two days in France and on return I see that a thread on Passion Histoire, where I just got involved the day before yesterday is "exploded" into more than thirty messages. About the Madagascar plan. I covered the subject on these boards in depth, but there it seems a "touchy" subject and I have to study the whole thread first before answering with my "old" knowledge from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ thread before replying as for a "balanced" view in the turmoil.
Kind regards and with esteem,
Paul.
PS: And see you on Historum...
