Behavioural Syntactics: the emergence of chimpanzee gestural capacities through adaptations for locomotion, sleep, and social co-ordination.
REFNo: NS735ES
Hypothesis 1: climbing and nest building shaped chimpanzees’ bodies and minds in ways that were later exapted for their unique gestural communication.
Prediction 1a) The rapid expansion in the great ape gestural repertoire was founded on a greater range of available movement selected for in climbing/nest building.
a. If so, then we should see the use of specific hand/arm movements in climbing and nest building that are available to great apes, but not small apes and other primates
b. If so, then we should see those movements present in great ape gestures
Prediction 1b) The basic ability to plan a sequence of actions, with hierarchically structured sections, emerged in the (relatively) simple behaviour of climbing and nest building, and was subsequently exapted/refined for food processing and then communication.
a. If so, then nest building and climbing should show sequences of motor actions that are planned from start to finish with recurred/recursive sections within them
b. If so, then we would see flexible programs of motor actions adapted to the task from the outset.
Hypothesis 2: rhythmic patterning and co-ordination of social behaviour provides a mechanism for social cohesion in chimpanzees.
Prediction 2a) The rhythm and patterning of social touch in chimpanzee grooming will show overlap with the stroke patterns that promote oxytocin release in human social touch.
Prediction 2b) Chimpanzees will show increased co-ordination in locomotory activities (e.g., walking and climbing) when engaged in activities where social cohesion is beneficial (e.g., patrolling).
