Fish singing hints at origins of vertebrate vocalization
Researchers led by Andrew H. Bass of Cornell find toadfish produce two major sounds, a mating hum and a threat grunt, revealing ancient neural networks linked to vocal behavior across vertebrates from fish to mammals. The study suggests that the nervous system basis for speech originated in fish hundreds of millions of years ago and aligns with vocal pathways in frogs, birds, and humans.
