Complex structures resembling human
language were found in the communication of sperm whales
¨
A new scientific study
has found that sperm whales may utilize communication structures similar to
human language.
¨
The research revealed
complex and organized patterns within their vocalizations, known as
"codas."
¨
Sperm whales communicate
with one another through a series of clicking sounds.
¨
These coda sounds are
primarily recorded when the whales surface to breathe.
¨ Scientists observed
variations in the rhythm and intervals of these sounds, akin to the intonation
found in human speech.
¨
This indicates that whale
communication is more complex and structured than previously thought.
¨
This study was conducted
under Project CETI.
¨ The project utilized Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and advanced underwater recording technology.
¨ According to the
research, the flexibility observed in the click patterns points toward a highly
evolved communication system in whales.
