Ostensive communication in great apes: The evolution of Gricean intent
Mind &Language, EarlyView.I discuss the evolution of ostensive behaviours (behaviours that display the communicative intent to influence others through the perception of signals and actions addressed to them). Ostensive communication evolved out of evolutionary adaptations to the challenges and opportunities created by the evolutionary scenario of the meeting of ...

Spatial Reference in a Bonobo Gesture [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Great apes frequently produce gestures during social interactions to communicate in flexible, goal-directed ways [1-3], a feature with considerable relevance for the ongoing debate over the evolutionary origins of human language [1, 4]. But despite this shared feature with language, there has been a lack of evidence for semantic content in ape gestures.

The Sounds of Trust: The Bouba–Kiki Effect in Political Leaders' Names
Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 955-978, November 2026.ABSTRACT Prior research has found evidence for the bouba–kiki effect according to which individuals associate sounds related to “bouba” and “kiki” with shapes and feelings. Using individual data from the World Values Survey, we investigate whether political leaders with names that sound “bouba” or “kiki” are associated with higher or lower trust.

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2427-2447, October 2026.ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Sociability Under Anthropogenic Change: From Individual Behaviour to Population‐Level Consequences
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Our review synthesises empirical and theoretical research on how anthropogenic environmental change reshapes animal social behaviour from individuals to populations. We use sociability as an individual‐level lens, distinguishing context‐dependent expression from repeatable interindividual differences and linking both to social relationships, network ...
