Scientists have performed tests on social animals (like bees, monkeys, and humans) whose survival depends on cooperation to complete tasks and found that newborns of these species appear to show an innate attraction to auditory stimulation comprised of many individuals' calls or voices. A group of animal behaviorists recently performed a similar test on newborn Hawaiian monk seals. Unlike the species who were previously tested, monk seals are a notoriously solitary species that doesn't depend on cooperation for survival. When the scientists played audio of groups of seals barking, they found that infant seals showed a significant preference for the sounds, suggesting that -------Which choice most logically completes the text?group barking stimuli are likely perceived as harmless by newborns of social species that practice cooperation but as threatening by newborns of solitary species without cooperation.eliminateresearchers should not assume that an innate attraction to group barking stimuli in newborns is necessarily an adaptation related to social interaction or cooperation.eliminateresearchers can assume that attraction to group barking stimuli that is seen in social species that practice cooperation is learned rather than innate.eliminatenewborn Hawaiian monk seals show a stronger preference for group barking stimuli than adult Hawaiian monk seals do.

The study of cetaceanintelligence has added to our understanding of dolphin behavior. Even thoughcetaceans, which are marine animals including dolphins, whales, and porpoises,are widely considered intelligent species, conclusions about the type andextent of dolphin intelligence have not yet been reached. However, there areseveral things that we do know about the ways in which dolphins communicate andbehave in groups.Researchers study thelevel of communication among dolphins because communication systems can offerinsight into an animal’s intelligence. Dolphins produce two primary types ofvocalizations called clicks and whistles. Dolphins generally use clicks for thepurposes of echolocation and whistles for communication. Dolphins emit clicksas rapid broadband bursts that are sent out into their environment and thenecho back, giving them information about their surroundings. Whistles differfrom clicks by being sent out as narrow-band frequency modulated signals, whichare for communications such as contact calls. Strong evidence supports the ideathat dolphins use signature whistles to identify and call to each other.One hypothesis calledthe “acoustic flashlight” hypothesis maintains that dolphins may be able tolearn passively about their surroundings by listening in on the echolocationinspections of other dolphins. Scientists are researching this idea by lookingat how dolphins participate in postural pointing, an activity that humansperform when they point a finger to direct another person towards an object orlocation.Communication is alsoan important part of how dolphins behave in groups, which can range in sizefrom a pair of dolphins to a pod of hundreds of individuals. Researchers havenoticed that large packs rely on a highly organized method of communicationwhen responding to predators, such as sharks. When a group of dolphins reactsto an unexpected disturbance, it will quickly move in near-unison to avoid thethreat. In this way, dolphins rely on visual and auditory cues to communicatetheir location and to interpret the locations of others in the pod.

Various anatomical modifications were required to allow for effective vocal communication through language in humans.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Humans are continually creating new expressions and novel utterances by manipulat-ing their linguistic resources to describe new objects and situations. This property isdescribed as productivity (or “creativity” or “open-endedness”) and essentially meansthat the potential number of utterances in any human language is infinite.The communication systems of other creatures are not like that. Cicadas have foursignals to choose from and vervet monkeys have thirty-six vocal calls. Nor does it seempossible for creatures to produce new signals to communicate novel experiences orevents. The honeybee, normally able to communicate the location of a nectar source toother bees, will fail to do so if the location is really “new.” In one experiment, a hive ofbees was placed at the foot of a radio tower and a food source placed at the top. Tenbees were taken to the top, given a taste of the delicious food, and sent off to tell the restof the hive about their find. The message was conveyed via a bee dance and the wholegang buzzed off to get the free food. They flew around in all directions, but couldn’tlocate the food. (It’s probably one way to make bees really mad.) The problem seems tobe that bee communication has a fixed set of signals for communicating location andthey all relate to horizontal distance. The bee cannot manipulate its communicationsystem to create a “new” message indicating vertical distance. According to Karl vonFigure 2.1Animals and human language 13Frisch, who conducted the experiment, “the bees have no word for up in theirlanguage” and they can’t invent one.This limiting feature of animal communication is described in terms of fixedreference. Each signal in the system is fixed as relating to a particular object oroccasion. Among the vervet monkey’s repertoire, there is one danger signalCHUTTER, which is used when a snake is around, and another RRAUP, used whenan eagle is spotted nearby. These signals are fixed in terms of their reference andcannot be manipulated. What might count as evidence of productivity in the mon-key’s communication system would be an utterance of something like CHUTT-RRAUPwhen a flying creature that looked like a snake came by. Despite a lot of researchinvolving snakes suddenly appearing in the air above them (among other unusualand terrifying experiences), the vervet monkeys didn’t produce a new danger signal.The human, given similar circumstances, is quite capable of creating a “new” signal,after initial surprise perhaps, by saying something never said before, as in Hey! Watchout for that flying snake!
