    It’d want to.

    There’s probably at least some motivation to be adapted to know when chimpanzees are about.

    Those guys are strong and notoriously violent. They don’t seem to mind being cruel either.

    If you suspect chimpanzees are around, give them a wide birth.

    How deep is the evolutionary continuity of voice processing mechanisms shared across closely related primates?
