Table 2 Comparison between humans and panins over frequency range of significantly different magnitudes.

From: Auditory thresholds compatible with optimal speech reception likely evolved before the human-chimpanzee split

  1. Frequency in kHz, magnitude in dB. Positive difference in magnitude suggests better hearing sensitivity in humans.
  2. Range of p values correspond to lowest and highest p value in the considered frequency range.
