We present two arguments why physical adaptations for vocalization may be as important as neural adaptations. First, fine control over vocalization is not easy for physical reasons, and modern humans may be exceptional. Second, we present an example of a gorilla that shows rudimentary voluntary control over vocalization, indicating that some neural control is already shared with great apes.
我们提出了两个论据，说明发声的身体适应可能与神经适应同样重要。首先，发声的精细控制从物理角度来说并非易事，而现代人可能是个例外。其次，我们举出一个大猩猩的例子，表明其已经表现出发声的初步自主控制，这表明一些神经控制已经与类人猿共有。
