Orangutans have been observed producing two different sounds simultaneously, similar to human beatboxers or songbirds. The discovery suggests that the early language structure of our ancestors might have resembled something like beatboxing. The vocal control abilities of great apes have been underestimated compared to the focus on bird vocal abilities. The findings provide clues around the evolution of human speech and beatboxing capabilities.

Orangutans have been found to make two separate sounds at the same time, a phenomenon known as biphonic call production, which researchers suggest is similar to human beatboxing. The calls involve consonant-like noises that coincide or overlap with vowel-like noises. The researchers recorded two different groups of wild orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra and heard apes making these calls. The researchers suggest that early human language may have resembled something that sounded more like beatboxing before evolution organized language into the consonant-vowel structure that we know today.

Orangutans have been found to possess the ability to produce two separate sounds simultaneously, similar to songbirds and human beatboxers. Researchers observed vocalizing orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra and discovered that primates in both populations exhibited this vocal phenomenon. The findings shed light on the evolution of human speech and suggest that early human language may have resembled beatboxing before evolving into the consonant-vowel structure we know today.

Orangutans have been found to possess the ability to produce two separate sounds simultaneously, similar to human beatboxing or songbirds. This discovery, made through the observation of vocalizing orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra, could provide insights into the evolution of human speech and the origins of beatboxing. The study suggests that this vocal ability may have evolved from existing primate vocalizations, highlighting the potential evolutionary link between primate vocalizations and complex human speech.
