Each phrase is made up of distinct sounds, strung together. A study from researchers at has found that the song phrases of many songbird species follow patterns that are similar to those used in human speech. At least in some respects.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/img_2311_copy_for_posting.jpeg?itok=YksNZ8hD" width="160" height="107" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">22 </span><span class="month">June </span><span class="year">2021</span></div></div></div></div></div> Tue, 22 Jun 2021 18:00:25 +0000 webfull 171261 at /channels Do birdsong and human speech share biological roots? /channels/channels/news/do-birdsong-and-human-speech-share-biological-roots-282972 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Do songbirds and humans have common biological hardwiring that shapes how they produce and perceive sounds?</p> <p>Scientists who study birdsong have been intrigued for some time by the possibility that human speech and music may be rooted in biological processes shared across a variety of animals.
