Call, Josep 2007 Chimpanzees are sensitive to some of the psychological states of othersMaking Minds: The shaping of human minds through social context, Hauf, Petra and Friedrich Försterling (eds.), pp. 197–210 | Article
Animals react and adjust to the behavior of their conspecifics. Much less is known about whether animals also react and adjust to the psychological states of others. Recent evidence suggests that chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) follow the gaze of others around barriers, past distracters, and check… read more
Pika, Simone, Katja Liebal, Josep Call and Michael Tomasello 2007 The gestural communication of apesGestural Communication in Nonhuman and Human Primates, Liebal, Katja, Cornelia Müller and Simone Pika (eds.), pp. 37–51 | Article
Gestural communication of nonhuman primates may allow insight into the evolutionary scenario of human communication given the flexible use and learning of gestures as opposed to vocalizations. This paper provides an overview of the work on the gestural communication of apes with the focus on their… read more

Liebal, Katja, Josep Call, Michael Tomasello and Simone Pika 2004 To move or not to move: How apes adjust to the attentional state of othersInteraction Studies 5:2, pp. 199–219 | Article
A previous observational study suggested that when faced with a partner with its back turned, chimpanzees tend to move around to the front of a non-attending partner and then gesture — rather than gesturing once to attract attention and then again to convey a specific intent. We investigated this… read more
Hare, Brian, Josep Call and Michael Tomasello 1998 Communication of Food Location Between Human and Dog (Canis Familiaris)Evolution of Communication 2:1, pp. 137–159 | Article
Two domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) participated in a series of studies in which they communicated with a human about the location of hidden food. In the first study both dogs were able to follow human pointing reliably to one of several locations where food was hidden, both in front of them and… read more
Tomasello, Michael, Josep Call, Jennifer Warren, G. Thomas Frost, Malinda Carpenter and Katherine Nagell 1997 The Ontogeny of Chimpanzee Gestural Signals: A Comparison Across Groups and GenerationsGestural Communication in Human and Non-Human Primates, Maestripieri, Dario and Jill P. Morford (eds.), pp. 223–259 | Article
Observations of the gestural communication of two groups of captive chimpanzees are reported. For one group the observations represent a fourth longitudinal time point over a 12 year period; the other group was observed for the first time. There were two main questions. The first concerned how… read more
