Chimp Gestures

Biologists have discovered that wild chimpanzees communicate using similar gestures to humans (do they give researchers "the finger?") This will give linguists a clue as to how language evolved among humans.

Researcher Anna Roberts has identified 20 to 30 manual gestures used by chimps, a third of which are similar to those used by humans. These include beckoning to make someone approach and flailing their arms to make someone leave (so if you don’t want to be compared to a primate, watch your gestures). Roberts thinks they suggest that a common ancestor of both humans and chimps must have used similar gestures.

BBC News quotes Roberts as saying, "Chimpanzees use these gestures intentionally to elicit a desired response from other chimpanzees and they may be the missing link between ape and human communication. We now know that these gestures must have been in the repertoire of our common ancestor and might have been the starting point for language evolution."

Contactees know all the secrets, such as the fact that the Visitors communicate by sending images and words "inside their heads."
