Monkey Whispers: Special Sounds for Friends!

Marmosets are little monkeys who live together in families.

They use special whistles, called 'phee calls', to talk to each other.

Scientists discovered that these monkeys have different whistles for each of their friends, like names!

This is exciting because it means monkeys might be smarter than we thought and could help us understand how humans started using language.
