For decades,recursion (i)the ability to create patterns within patterns.like boxes fitting inside each othewas seenskill only human used in languge.This tool lets us build endless sentenes from simple wards,such as"The moakey watches the bird following the butterfly that ests flowers'".However,new study on wild orangutans(红毛界程) uestions this ides,suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history. Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1.000 alarm clls from female Sumatran orangutans.They found n surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds First,single sounds formed small groups,which then comhined into longerqeand finally repeated in even larger series-all keeping a steady rhythm at ench level.This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans, Importantly.the orangutans changed their calls based on danger.When real hunters like tigers appeared.their sound became faster and sharper.For false threats.the calls sowed down and lost their regular beat.This flexihility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different danger Dr.Chiara De Gregorio,lead author of the study.stated,"Discovering such advanced sound patters in orangutans mskes us tethink what makes human Iangunge special. Recursion likely didn't appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestor"The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago,long before humans spoke camplex words. By comparing ornngutan communication to human language.scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas,These resalts also reveal the mprivemntal abilities of great apes(类人s飨)，pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech.As Dr.De Gregorio says."Every sound in an orangutan's call may bold secrets about bow our own language began" 28.What did researehers discover sbout orangutans'alarm calls?

Researchera divided workers into four categories:those who always work remotelya those with hybrid《l合的》arrangements(splitting time between home and office):those based in &n office but free to work remotely and those who must remsin in an office at all times.The study found that 31%of fully remote employees reported fecling engaged- meaning they were interested in and focused on their workwhereas only 19%of office-only workers felt similarly.which was the lowest smong all categories Despite higher engagement.fully remote workers reported more frequent stress45% said they ofren felt tense.compared to a lower proportion amang office-based staff.Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%).Moreover,at least ane-quarter of remote workers dmitted to feelings of anger.loneliness.or sadnessemotions les commonly reported by thase working entirely on-site Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main ressons for these findings.First.remote warkers miss the infarmal interactions-chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together-that foster sense of connection and reduce stress.Sccond.working from home demands self-management of time and tasks:constant anline meetings and messaging esn intensify pressure and blur work life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that compsnies must address the emotionel needs of all employees. whether they wark from home or in an office.While remote work can boost focus and flexibility.organications should offer soial support.clear guidelines for time management, and opportumities for in-person collaboration ()Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses enaure long-term ues and s truly satisficd workforce. For example,companies might organize regular virtual ouffee breaks,schedule oceasional in person gatherings Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout.By combining structured support programs with flexible policies.
