The Back Story:
Chimpanzees
Communication between chimps in the wild takes the form of facial expressions, gestures, and a large array of vocalizations, including screams, hoots, grunts, and roars. Males display excitement by standing erect, stamping or swaying, and letting out a chorus of screams. Chimps use louder calls and gestures for long-distance communication (such as drumming on tree roots) and quieter calls and facial expressions for short distance communication. Similarities to human laughter and smiling might be seen in their “play panting” and grinning, respectively.
