26、 have an ability to understand the signs of apes.As we all know, humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. Weve been doing this for tens of thousands of years.Apes have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and
27、bonobos （ 倭黑猩猩） are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”.Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpa
