A new study reveals that wild chimpanzees combine vocal calls in structured ways to create new or more specific meanings, echoing key features of human language. Researchers documented over 12,000 calls from chimpanzees in Côte d’Ivoire and found that they formed at least 16 different two-call combinations.
Research suggests that asymmetric (non-reciprocal) molecular interactions can stabilize biological systems by allowing adaptation to different states, like molecular condensates or information waves, offering insights into the formation and maintenance of cellular structures.
