Primates are unquestionably clever: Monkeys can learn how to use money, and=
chimpanzees have a knack for game theory. But no one has ever taught a non=
human primate to say "hello." Scientists have long been intrigued by the fa=
ilure of primates to talk like us. Understanding the reasons may offer clue=
s to how our own ancestors evolved full-blown speech, one of our most power=
ful adaptations. On Friday, a team of researchers reported that monkeys hav=
e a vocal tract capable of human speech. They argue that other primates can=
't talk because they lack the right wiring in their brains. "A monkey's voc=
al tract would be perfectly adequate to produce hundreds, thousands of word=
s," said W. Tecumseh Fitch, a cognitive scientist at the University of Vien=
na and a co-author of the new study. Continue reading the main story Advert=
isement Continue reading the main story Human speech results from a complic=
ated choreography of flowing air and contracting muscles. To make a particu=
lar sound, we
have to give the vocal tract a particular shape. The vocal tracts of other =
primates contain the same elements as ours =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9D from vo=
cal cords to tongues to lips =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9D but their geometry is=
different. That difference long ago set scientists to debating whether pri=
mates could make speechlike sounds. In the 1960s, Philip H. Lieberman, now =
a professor emeritus of Brown University, and his colleagues went so far as=
to pack a dead monkey's vocal tract with plaster to get a three-dimensiona=
l rendering. They used acoustic formulas to determine what sort of sound th=
e tract would produce. Then they tested out variations on that shape, based=
on how living monkeys open their jaws and move other parts of their vocal =
tracts. In 1969, the researchers concluded that the range of vowel sounds t=
hat monkeys could make was "quite restricted," compared with those produced=
by humans. Dr. Lieberman would go on to study chimpanzee vocal tracts and =
look for clues to speech in the fossils of ancient humans and
Neanderthals. He argued that a crucial part of the evolution of speech was =
a gradual anatomical change to the vocal tract in humans. Crucial to this t=
ransition was the human tongue's descent back into the throat. "It's not un=
til about 75,000 years ago that you find fossils of fully modern humans wit=
h a vocal tract like that," Dr. Lieberman said in an interview. Dr. Fitch, =
a former student of Dr. Lieberman, and his colleagues came to a much differ=
ent conclusion after reviewing X-ray videos of macaques. The terse title of=
their new paper in Science Advances nicely sums up the findings: "Monkey V=
ocal Tracts Are Speech-Ready." In collaboration with Asif A. Ghazanfar, a n=
euroscientist at Princeton, Dr. Fitch filmed three rhesus macaque monkeys w=
ith a portable X-ray scanner. The goal was to survey the range of sounds mo=
nkeys will make on their own. "We only wanted them to do their natural capa=
bilities," said Dr. Ghazanfar. When the scientists brought another monkey i=
nto the room,
for example, the animals would smack their lips. The scientists could get t=
he monkeys to coo and grunt when presented with fruit. As they ate the frui=
t, the videos showed, the monkeys moved their mouths and throats into alter=
nate positions. The scientists selected 99 stills from their X-ray videos t=
o study in more detail. They mapped the outline of the vocal tract in each =
picture, and then generated a three-dimensional computer rendering of it, w=
hich they then used to model the sounds that a monkey could make by pushing=
air through that space. In theory, the researchers concluded, monkeys can =
make a fairly wide range of sounds. Looking at the most distinct vocal trac=
t shapes, Dr. Fitch and Dr. Ghazanfar identified five separate vowels among=
the possibilities. "What you get are the vowels in 'bit,' 'bet,' 'bat,' 'b=
ut' and 'bought,'" Dr. Fitch said. When the researchers played these sounds=
to people, they were able to correctly distinguish them most of the time. =
The scientists
could even assemble the sounds into recognizable sentences. So what prevent=
s these monkeys from gabbing all day long by the watering hole? The two res=
earchers argue that the key to the acquisition of speech lies somewhere in =
the brain. "If they had the brain, they could produce intelligible speech,"=
Dr. Ghazanfar said. Our ancestors may have evolved special brain circuits =
that allowed them to learn new sounds as babies. Humans also developed a sp=
ecial set of nerves for the fine motor control of their vocal tracts. Dr. L=
ieberman isn't convinced: His view is still that the evolution of human spe=
ech had to involve changes in both the brain and the vocal tract. Monkeys i=
n the new study, he noted, failed to make the most distinct sounds in human=
speech, such as a long e. Without such a full repertoire of distinct sound=
s, he argues, it's not possible to speak clearly as we do. "It's the differ=
ence between having a very saturated color and a very pastel color," he sai=
d. The acoustic
version of saturated colors would have been important for full-blown human =
speech, he said. But Anna Barney, a speech scientist at the University of S=
outhampton in England, found the research of Dr. Fitch and his colleagues m=
ore persuasive. While monkeys may not have the full range of human vowels, =
Dr. Barney said, their repertoire is a very good starting place for speech.=
Still, she cautioned that the new study left important questions about spe=
ech unresolved. Vowels are important to speech, for example, but so are con=
sonants. "What they've shown is that monkeys are vowel-ready, not speech-re=
ady," Dr. Barney said.
