Nature Primate Communication

# data[].attributes.body
At first, Scientists wanted to teach the chimps real language! But they couldn't wrap their otherwise expressive lips around words. Scientists have studied African apes which are proven to be able to learn American sign language  in a simple form. This is another way for primates to communicate with humans .

Another way primates can communicate is through behavior such as , smell , touch & visual messages. They also use threatening facial expressions similar to humans. Human communication is far more complicated than primates. Other than when primates learn ASL
(American Sign Language) they don't really "talk". They simply make noises and calls. Or hoots, howls, whistles, barks, slaps on the ground, and other sounds.
Similar to dogs, wolves, and cats they mark their territory with urine. This is  another sign of communication. This marks their territory and keeps danger away from little ones.

Primates have many different sounds they use to communicate. They mainly use calls. Some of the calls include- alarm calls, territorial calls, food calls, personal identification calls, dominance calls- these are the basic messages they use. For example, Diana Monkeys use different calls for different predators! Like an eagle or a jaguar. But they also have signals that mean things in the real world.

Primates are very similar to us humans! You are going to learn about primates and how they communicate. Their language is very different then ours even though we act in similar ways.
