💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦧😂 University of #Warwick researchers recorded #laughter from #orangutans, #gorillas, #chimpanzees, #bonobos, and #humans, finding the same evenly spaced #rhythm across all six species.
The #structure traces back to a common ancestor 15 million years ago and has remained unchanged. Human laughter has evolved faster and more context dependent, possibly a building block for #speech.

Modern family … Randy, a two-year-old orangutan rescued from illegal captivity, with his foster mother Siponti at the Yiari rehabilitation centre, West Kalimanta, Indonesia. As part of a surrogacy programme, Siponti is teaching the recovering orphan the survival skills he needs to thrive in the wild.

Two tapanuli orangutans in a tree
Tapanuli orangutans in a tree in the Batang Toru forest in Indonesia’s North Sumatra. Landslides aggravated by climate breakdown wiped out nearly one in 10 remaining members of the world’s rarest great ape species on Indonesia’s Sumatra island when rain fell over four days in North Sumatra in November 2025, a study has found.Photograph: Orangutan Information Centre/AFP/Getty Images

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/may/19/should-we-leave-them-to-die-the-battle-over-how-to-save-orangutans-from-the-curse-of-palm-oil. We steal their #land, we destroy their #habitat, & then turn round & blame the #orangutans if they try to defend themselves, it seems, @palmoildetectives! The #injustice of that is absolutely glaring, & reeks of #speciesism.

‘Should we leave them to die?’ The battle over how to save #orangutans from the curse of #palmoil - https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/may/19/should-we-leave-them-to-die-the-battle-over-how-to-save-orangutans-from-the-curse-of-palm-oil "orangutans seem particularly ill-suited to being moved. Wild orangutans have a mental map of the forest built up over many years. They know which trees are fruiting and when. "
