This subject is still very welcome here, and I thank you for sharing this link! Sorry if my comment implied otherwise, that was not my goal.
Fully agree. In special, this is useful for people researching the origins of human language; before we had language, odds are that our communication was similar to what you see in other animals, specially other mammals. So any development on how they communicate might help us to understand how we bridged that gap between non-linguistic and linguistic communication.
Not at all. Your comment was completely appropriate and also welcome. Thanks for your context and furthering the conversation meaningfully.
