Researchers found that 14% of interactions between East African chimpanzees involved an exchange of gestures, with 83% of these involving a two-part gesture exchange, mirroring human communication styles.
Chimpanzees displayed response timing similar to humans but took longer to respond with other behaviors, indicating shared conversational mechanisms evolved for social bonding between species.
Variations in response timing among chimp communities mirror human cultural differences in conversation pace, suggesting shared behavioral norms across species with possible evolutionary roots.
