Tatiana Bortolato has been a PhD student since October 2018, working under the supervision of Cédric Girard-Buttoz, Catherine Crockford and Roman Wittig, and within the Evolution of Brain Connectivity Project in collaboration with Max Planck Institutes for Evolutionary Anthropology and Human Cognitive Sciences, and the ISC CNRS. Her main research interest is in the evolution of language, in particular, the development of vocal communication in chimpanzees, one of our closest living relatives. Her thesis comprises the study of the emerging complexity of the vocal repertoire across ontogeny in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus), at the Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire.
