Monkeys have a way of

American scientists have discovered the "behavioral" behavior of people in the lovely American monkey species.

Researchers at Princeton University (USA) have discovered a unique characteristic of Marmoset monkeys - they know how to communicate, divide their conversations to avoid interrupting and robbing words . This characteristic in Marmoset monkeys is characterized by "human-style melon" : friendly, sociable and linguistic.

For this study, Ghazanfar and his colleagues observed Marmoset monkeys. Thereby, scientists realized, they can maintain conversations lasting up to 30 minutes and this not only takes place between those familiar with each other but also between the strange monkey. This feature is completely different from many animals such as birds, toads, crickets . which only communicate during breeding season or to protect the territory.

Specifically, the team had left Marmoset monkeys in the corners of the room facing each other and separated them with a barrier. This barrier made the monkeys unable to see each other, but still heard the sound coming from the opposite.

At that time, Marmoset contacted each other by calling 'phee' - the unique name for Marmoset's communication, referring to a very loud whistling and being used at a distance.

When the first monkey calls out to his fellow, another monkey waits for about 5 seconds before saying 'answer'. And if a Marmoset monkey increases or decreases the speed of speaking, the remaining children will also adjust themselves to unify in the conversation. These findings affirmed that, similar to humans, Marmoset monkeys adhere to separate rules during the conversation.

During the conversation, Marmoset monkeys often exchange information related to gender, self-identifiable characteristics and some features about groups and men living. It is the turn-based conversation that makes this monkey able to acquire the information in the most complete way, especially in the less quiet forests.

For Marmoset, it is very beneficial to 'keep a polite attitude' when talking. If a monkey is separated from the daily familiar group and participates in a new herd of monkeys, it is useful to 'keep the turn' when talking to others because the other monkey knows that this new monkey is a good listener , rather than just 'talk a lot'.

Researchers also argue that Marmoset's turn-based conversation can be the basis of complex and sophisticated forms of communication that only occur in humans.

By listening to and learning about the conversations of this tiny, vivacious monkey, scientists hope to discover more about the origin of human communication and encourage us. Marmoset monkey should be studied to have a more polite communication style.
