A team of British scientists studying primates in Nigeria have made some astounding claims. First of all, they claim to be British scientists, even though one of them admits to being named “Klaus Zuberbühler.” They also claim that monkeys may speak to each other in sentences.

The researchers have identified the sentence Pyow, pyow, pyow, hack, hack, as meaning “Let’s get out of here” to the putty-nosed monkeys living in Gashaka Gumti National Park.

“The findings suggest that the rudiments of syntax, a basic component of human language, may be more widespread among primates than is generally thought,” says the Times’s Mark Henderson. “Then again, it may not be,” he did not add, since that would have been redundant.

The new study builds upon work by Arthur Fields and Walter Donovon, who recorded in 1914 that Baba, daba, dab, in monkey talk, means “Chimp, I love you, too.”

For phase two of the study, each of the subjects will be given a blog on the Huffington Post.
