🚨 Language connection FOUND in chimpanzees? 🧠🗣️
For years, scientists thought the key to human language was a fibre connection, missing in chimp brains.
New high-res brain scans just changed the game. 👀🐒

Exciting! @evfedorenko.bsky.social and coll. @natureportfolio.bsky.social (NatRevNeurosci)'s piece functionally separated a core lang network from a percept.-motor network (+others);
and asked for an evo perspective!
Here we go: s.gwdg.de/WUPS8h
