K9VocLearn explores the evolution of vocal learning in dogs, a species that has undergone significant domestication. By examining the genetic and behavioral factors influencing vocal abilities, the project aims to shed light on the origins of human speech.
Modifying the vocal repertoire using an external auditory model is a prerequisite for speech production.
But how full-fledged vocal learning evolved in humans, uniquely among primates, is still unclear.
Integrating recent evidence from ethology and genetics, I hypothesize that selection for tameness, alloparental behavior and cooperativity in concert were the key driving processes for the emergence of human vocal learning and speech. I propose that dogs constitute an ideal model to test this hyp…
