Chimpanzees communicate using unique drumming rhythms that vary between subspecies, with western chimps utilizing evenly spaced beats and their eastern counterparts employing alternating pauses. This finding suggests that social dynamics may influence their communication methods and potentially points to the evolutionary origins of musicality. In other news, Google's medical chatbot AMIE shows promise in diagnosing medical conditions more accurately than physicians. However, concerns exist regarding the EPA's operational capacity as insiders claim the organization's main science division is effectively being shut down despite official denials.
Wild chimpanzees drum on tree roots in specific rhythms to communicate across long distances. These rhythms differ between populations - western chimps thump in evenly spaced beats, while their eastern counterparts take alternating long and short pauses after beats.
Researchers suggest the behaviours are influenced by the social dynamics of the animals' groups, and could hint at the evolutionary origins of musicality.
The main science division of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is being de-facto shut down, say insiders - despite the agency's public denials.
The upgraded version of Google's medical chatbot, called AMIE, reportedly gave more accurate diagnoses than did human physicians when shown medical images in simulated scenarios.
