The study highlights that common marmosets possess the capability to use names to call other individuals, expanding our understanding of animal communication.
Unlike most primates, marmosets exhibit unusual vocalizations and display an advanced vocal learning ability, suggesting a sophistication in their communication akin to that seen in humans.
Previous studies on primate communication showed limited vocal learning, but the emergence of naming abilities in marmosets challenges this perception and reveals a complex social structure.
The distinction between innate vocalizations in primates and learned language in humans emphasizes the unique cognitive aspects involved in animal communication and social interaction.
