Why Can't Monkeys Talk Like Us?

The video discusses the challenges in teaching primates human language, focusing on vocal anatomy and brain limitations. New research suggests that primates' brains, not their vocal tracts, limit their ability to speak. The video also explores antibiotic resistance in bacteria found in isolated caves, highlighting the potential for these findings to help combat resistance in harmful bacteria. The episode concludes with a promotion for an upcoming event.
