ARIN GREENWOOD:<\/strong> The National Institutes of Health [NIH] said \u201cI do\u201d to some rogue Princeton white coats, handing them more than $4.5 million taxpayer dollars to abuse macaque monkeys in order to find out \u2014 surprise! \u2014 they don\u2019t and can\u2019t speak like human beings.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what these Ivy league monkey abusers did… They strapped the macaques into plastic chairs by the neck. Metal collars were used as restraints at first, but swapped for plastic because the metal \u201cwas found to partially obscure laryngeal movements.\u201d They took x-rays and recorded when the animals smacked their lips or made other facial gestures and vocalized. Then, they used a computer to create that incredibly creepy audio file of what it might sound like if a macaque did propose marriage…<\/p>\n

According to the press materials released by Princeton University: “Monkey speak: Macaques have the anatomy, not the brain, for human speech”…<\/p>\n

[Monkeys known as macaques possess the vocal anatomy to produce \u201cclearly intelligible\u201d human speech but lack the brain circuitry to do so, according to new research.<\/em><\/p>\n

The findings \u2014 which could apply to other African and Asian primates known as Old World monkeys \u2014 suggest that human speech stems mainly from the unique evolution and construction of our brains, and is not linked to vocalization-related anatomical differences between humans and primates, the researchers reported Dec. 9 in the journal Science Advances.<\/em><\/p>\n

Co-corresponding author Asif Ghazanfar, a Princeton University professor of psychology and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, said that scientists across many disciplines have long debated if \u2014 and to what extent \u2014 differences between the human and primate vocal anatomy allow people to speak but not monkeys and apes.]<\/em><\/p>\n

For all their interest in chatting, there\u2019s one big thing the Princetonians don\u2019t want to talk about: that they\u2019re taking your money, and so much of it, for their abusive monkey marriage experiments. They don\u2019t want to disclose that fact, even though federal law says they have to.<\/p>\n

Despite Princeton\u2019s years-long violation of federal spending disclosure law… this rogue lab is still getting lots of taxpayer dollars to torture monkeys for wasteful speech experiments. The NIH has handed over $4,528,929 since 2007, $387,716 of that cash in 2020. SOURCE…<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
