Researchers discovered chimpanzees engage in turn-taking and conversational patterns through gestures similar to human conversations. They collected data on 8,500 gestures across 252 wild chimpanzees, finding exchange structures like human dialogues.
Chimpanzees exhibited gestures after conflicts, reassuring each other in group travels, and even embraced with 'kisses.' The timing of chimpanzee gestures showed similarities to human conversation, with short pauses between gestures akin to human turn-taking.
