“Our new study demonstrates that people can understand great ape gestures. So, all of this together gives us more confidence that this was a communication system that would have been used by our last common ancestor.”
柯斯蒂·格雷厄姆 博士 聖安德魯斯大學
“我們的新研究表明，人們可以理解猿類的手勢。因此，所有的研究結果都讓我們更加堅信，這種手勢是一種交流方式，人類與黑猩猩及倭黑猩猩最後的共同祖先曾用它相互溝通。”
