The Laughter of Apes

About this episode

Sound doesn’t leave a fossil record, making it difficult to trace the origins of song, speech and language – but researchers have found a way. And it's laughter! Jeff and Anthony discuss the new ways in which scientists are comaring the rhythmns of laughter between species to learn how language evolved.
