Laughing and evolution
- 1. whether laughing emerged earlier on than humans did
- 2. to create the evolutionary tree linking humans and apes
- 3. that laughter is a uniquely human trait
- 4. that humans were closest to chimps and bonobos
- 5. that laughing comes from a common primate ancestor
- 6. while their caretakers tickled them
- 7. to trace the origin of laughter back
The first hoots of laughter from an ancient ancestor of humans could be heard at least 10 million years ago, according to the results of a new study. Researchers used recordings of apes and babies being tickled A ___ to the last common ancestor that humans shared with the modern great apes, which include chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans.
The finding challenges the opinion В ___ , suggesting instead that it emerged long before humans split from the evolutionary path that led to our primate cousins, between 10m and 16m years ago. «In humans, laughing can be the strongest way of expressing how much we are enjoying ourselves, but it can also be used in other contexts, like making fun of someone,» said Marina Davila Ross, a psychologist at Portsmouth University.
«I was interested in С ___ . Davila Ross travelled to seven zoos around Europe and visited a wildlife reserve in Sabah, Borneo, to record baby and juvenile apes D ___ . Great apes are known to make noises that are similar to laughter when they are excited and while they are playing with each other.
Davila Ross collected recordings of laughter from 21 chimps, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos and added recordings of three babies that were tickled to make them laugh. To analyze the recordings, the team put them into a computer program. «Our evolutionary tree based on these acoustic recordings alone showed E ___ , but furthest from orangutans, with gorillas somewhere in the middle.» said Davila Ross. «What this shows is strong evidence to suggest F ___ .

Scarcely had we settled into the Strawberry-pink Villa before my mother decided that I was running wild, and that it was necessary for me to have some sort of education. As usual when a problem arose, the entire family flung itself with enthusiasm into the task of solving it. Each member had his or her own idea of what was best for me.
Sitting under the open window in the twilight, I had listened with interest, not unmixed with indignation, to the family discussion of my fate. Finally my mother decided that George would be a good teacher for me. Now it was settled, I wondered vaguely who George was, and why it was so necessary for me to have lessons. But the dusk was thick with flower-scents, and the olive-groves were dark, mysterious, and fascinating. I forgot about the imminent danger of being educated, and went off with Roger to hunt for glow-worms in the sprawling brambles.
Later I discovered that George was my brother’s friend and he had come to Corfu to write. There was nothing very unusual about this, for all Larry’s acquaintances in those days were either authors, poets, or painters.
My new teacher came over to the villa to discuss my education with Mother, and we were introduced. We regarded each other with suspicion. George was a very tall and extremely thin man with a brown beard and a pair of large spectacles. He had a deep, melancholy voice, a dry and sarcastic sense of humor. However, he was not upset by the fact that there were no school-books available on the island; he simply looked through his own library and appeared on the appointed day armed with his own selection of books. He patiently taught me Geography from the maps in the back of an ancient copy of Pears Encyclopedia, English from books that ranged from Wilde to Gibbon, French from the book called «Le Petit Larousse», and mathematics from memory. From my point of view the most important thing was that we devoted some of our time to natural history, and George carefully taught me how to observe and how to note down observations in a diary. At once my enthusiastic interest in nature became focused, for I found that by writing things down I could learn and remember much more. The only morning that I was ever on time for my lessons were those which were given up to natural history.
Every morning at nine George would come into the little dining-room of the villa, sit at the table methodically arranging the books. He would droop over the exercise- book pensively, pulling at his beard. Then in his large, clear writing he would set the task for me to solve.
«If it took two caterpillars a week to eat eight leaves, how long would four caterpillars take to eat the same number? Now, apply yourself to that».
While I was struggling with the apparently insoluble problem of the caterpillar appetites, George was practicing some dancing moves in the hall as at that time he was engaged in learning some of the local dances, for which he had a passion. Through all this I would be watching him, fascinated, the exercise-book lying forgotten in front of me. Mathematics was not one of our successful subjects.
In geography we made better progress, for George was able to give a more zoological tinge to the lesson. We drew giant maps and then filled in the various places of interest, together with drawings of the most exciting animals and birds to be found there.

Scarcely had we settled into the Strawberry-pink Villa before my
mother decided that I was running wild, and that it was necessary for me to
have some sort of education. As usual when a problem arose, the entire family
flung itself with enthusiasm into the task of solving it. Each member had his
or her own idea of what was best for me.
Sitting under the open window in the twilight, I had listened with
interest, not unmixed with indignation, to the family discussion of my fate.
Finally my mother decided that George would be a good teacher for me. Now it
was settled, I wondered vaguely who George was, and why it was so necessary for
me to have lessons. But the dusk was thick with flower-scents, and the
olive-groves were dark, mysterious, and fascinating. I forgot about the
imminent danger of being educated, and went off with Roger to hunt for
glow-worms in the sprawling brambles.
Later I discovered that George was my brother’s friend and he had
come to Corfu to write. There was nothing very unusual about this, for all
Larry’s acquaintances in those days were either authors, poets, or painters.
My new teacher came over to the villa to discuss my education with
Mother, and we were introduced. We regarded each other with suspicion. George
was a very tall and extremely thin man with a brown beard and a pair of large
spectacles. He had a deep, melancholy voice, a dry and sarcastic sense of
humor. However, he was not upset by the fact that there were no school-books
available on the island; he simply looked through his own library and appeared
on the appointed day armed with his own selection of books. He patiently taught
me Geography from the maps in the back of an ancient copy of Pears
Encyclopedia, English from books that ranged from Wilde to Gibbon, French from the
book called “Le Petit Larousse”, and mathematics from memory. From my point of
view the most important thing was that we devoted some of our time to natural
history, and George carefully taught me how to observe and how to note down
observations in a diary. At once my enthusiastic interest in nature became
focused, for I found that by writing things down I could learn and remember
much more. The only morning that I was ever on time for my lessons were those
which were given up to natural history.
Every morning at nine George would come into the little
dining-room of the villa, sit at the table methodically arranging the books. He
would droop over the exercise-book pensively, pulling at his beard. Then in his
large, clear writing he would set the task for me to solve.
“If it took two caterpillars a week to eat eight leaves, how long
would four caterpillars take to eat the same number? Now, apply yourself to
that”.
While I was struggling with the apparently insoluble problem of
the caterpillar appetites, George was practicing some dancing moves in the hall
as at that time he was engaged in learning some of the local dances, for which
he had a passion. Through all this I would be watching him, fascinated, the
exercise-book lying forgotten in front of me. Mathematics was not one of our
successful subjects.
In geography we made better progress, for George was able to give
a more zoological tinge to the lesson. We drew giant maps and then filled in
the various places of interest, together with drawings of the most exciting
animals and birds to be found there.

Scarcely had we settled into the Strawberry-pink Villa before my
mother decided that I was running wild, and that it was necessary for me to
have some sort of education. As usual when a problem arose, the entire family
flung itself with enthusiasm into the task of solving it. Each member had his
or her own idea of what was best for me.
Sitting under the open window in the twilight, I had listened with
interest, not unmixed with indignation, to the family discussion of my fate.
Finally my mother decided that George would be a good teacher for me. Now it
was settled, I wondered vaguely who George was, and why it was so necessary for
me to have lessons. But the dusk was thick with flower-scents, and the
olive-groves were dark, mysterious, and fascinating. I forgot about the
imminent danger of being educated, and went off with Roger to hunt for
glow-worms in the sprawling brambles.
Later I discovered that George was my brother’s friend and he had
come to Corfu to write. There was nothing very unusual about this, for all
Larry’s acquaintances in those days were either authors, poets, or painters.
My new teacher came over to the villa to discuss my education with
Mother, and we were introduced. We regarded each other with suspicion. George
was a very tall and extremely thin man with a brown beard and a pair of large
spectacles. He had a deep, melancholy voice, a dry and sarcastic sense of
humor. However, he was not upset by the fact that there were no school-books
available on the island; he simply looked through his own library and appeared
on the appointed day armed with his own selection of books. He patiently taught
me Geography from the maps in the back of an ancient copy of Pears
Encyclopedia, English from books that ranged from Wilde to Gibbon, French from the
book called “Le Petit Larousse”, and mathematics from memory. From my point of
view the most important thing was that we devoted some of our time to natural
history, and George carefully taught me how to observe and how to note down
observations in a diary. At once my enthusiastic interest in nature became
focused, for I found that by writing things down I could learn and remember
much more. The only morning that I was ever on time for my lessons were those
which were given up to natural history.
Every morning at nine George would come into the little
dining-room of the villa, sit at the table methodically arranging the books. He
would droop over the exercise-book pensively, pulling at his beard. Then in his
large, clear writing he would set the task for me to solve.
“If it took two caterpillars a week to eat eight leaves, how long
would four caterpillars take to eat the same number? Now, apply yourself to
that”.
While I was struggling with the apparently insoluble problem of
the caterpillar appetites, George was practicing some dancing moves in the hall
as at that time he was engaged in learning some of the local dances, for which
he had a passion. Through all this I would be watching him, fascinated, the
exercise-book lying forgotten in front of me. Mathematics was not one of our
successful subjects.
In geography we made better progress, for George was able to give
a more zoological tinge to the lesson. We drew giant maps and then filled in
the various places of interest, together with drawings of the most exciting
animals and birds to be found there.

|
