Martin Surbeck
Martin Surbeck is a prominent researcher at Harvard University known for his work in primate behavior and communication. His recent study on bonobos has garnered attention for challenging long-held beliefs about the uniqueness of human language. By examining the vocal communication of wild bonobos in the Kokolopori Community Reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Surbeck's research suggests that the capacity for complex vocal combinations may be a shared trait with our primate relatives, dating back millions of years.
