The study indicates that birdsong and human language share structural similarities based on mathematical formulas.

#science #nature #technology #language A study has found that there is a similarity between the structures of birdsong and human language. Songbirds rely on the same complicated mathematical formula to organise their songs as humans do in speech. It builds on recent understanding that humpback whales also use a similar reliance. Birds use some sounds regularly whilst others less often, just as humans have common words in speech and others that are less common.https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260807/Birdsong-study-reveals-shared-foundations-of-complex-communication.aspx
