System adapted: Researchers now able to precisely analyse bonobo facial expressions

Life Sciences - Jun 17
Life Sciences

Researchers have successfully adapted an existing coding system for human facial expressions to systematically analyse the facial expressions of bonobos. Their findings, recently published in PeerJ, confirm that bonobos possess a repertoire of 28 distinct facial movements, of which 22 are triggered by specific muscle actions. This development opens up new opportunities for understanding how these endangered great apes communicate with one another - and how their expressions differ from those of humans.
