What are the evolutionary roots of humankind’s cognitive abilities, language and social systems? What are the unique cognitive and cultural processes that distinguish humans from their nearest primate relatives? What are the mental mechanisms underlying non-human primate emotions and social behaviours? How, why and in what way nonhuman primates’ communication – gestures, vocalizations and facial expressions – differs from human language? The “Cognition in Primates” Neurex meeting proposes to focus on current research in behaviour, cognition and neurosciences in both apes and monkeys.
