Primates studied included the black and gold howler monkey, tufted capuchin, black-capped squirrel monkey, and Peruvian spider monkey.<\/p>\n<p>Monkeys, scientists found, had a secret yodelling weapon; the primates possess special anatomical structures in their throats called vocal membranes. These membranes disappeared from humans through evolution to allow for more stable speech. These membranes allow monkeys to introduce &#8220;voice breaks&#8221; to their calls at the same rapid transitions in frequency heard in yodelling but at much higher octaves than humans.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/04\/a12fa21d-10a1-4cd7-926b-9e1832218788\/thumbnail\/620x413\/e52bcb17a8a4dd0eddf880027843c54e\/gettyimages-923331000.jpg?v=fbebbf93950d87ce40fccd82890f0617#\" alt=\"Black howler monkey - black-and-gold howler male in tree. \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/04\/a12fa21d-10a1-4cd7-926b-9e1832218788\/thumbnail\/620x413\/e52bcb17a8a4dd0eddf880027843c54e\/gettyimages-923331000.jpg?v=fbebbf93950d87ce40fccd82890f0617 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/04\/a12fa21d-10a1-4cd7-926b-9e1832218788\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/c68803f03d0525170e927d7518724317\/gettyimages-923331000.jpg?v=fbebbf93950d87ce40fccd82890f0617 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Black howler monkey &#8211; black-and-gold howler (Alouatta caraya) male in tree, native to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay.

As a result, the New World Monkeys are &#8220;ultra-yodellers,&#8221; the primates can have frequency leaps up to five times larger than the frequency changes that are possible with the human voice. New World monkeys are also capable of exceeding three musical octaves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a fascinating example of how nature provides the means of enriching animal vocalization, despite their lack of language,&#8221; said study lead author Christian T.
