Their paths separated only six million years ago. However, modern re
23、search on how gorillas communicate can still help us to better understand our own human language development. Understanding how the brain works helps us see a connection between language development and non-verbal (肢体的) signs. Psychologist Sebestyen Forrester from the University of Sussex tells us,
24、“Gorillas have highly-complicated forms of non-verbal communication. I think that through them we are looking back at the sort of communication skills we may have once had.” These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies, or the different expressions our faces have
25、in different social situations. A new study on gorillas showed that right-handednesspreferring to use the right hand instead of the left hand for most physical activitiesmay have a connection with communication. The right side of the body is controlled by the left part of the brain, which also happe
26、ns to control language development. In one experiment, two cameras were used to film all of a gorillas movements. One of the first discoveries made was that gorillas use their right hands more when they are doing actions with their head or mouth at the same time. This suggests that there is a connec
27、tion between how our brains work and the reason we use one side of our body more than the other. We can also use the results of this study and our knowledge about brains to help us understand more about how language first developed in humans. Forrester, who did the study, said the results could be u
28、seful in other ways, such as understanding language development in children. For example, some children have a serious illness called autism (自闭症) which can stop them communicating normally with people. It might be possible to use the same study method to find out which children have this illness wh

To learn how human language develops. C. To understand how human brains work. D. To treat some serious disea

Young children with autism will be cured by using the same study method. ( ) 4What is the passage mainly ab
