Why are voices so unique and distinguishable? Even a single word can let you recognize someone.
In: Biology
Same with faces, and lots of other things. Your brain is amazingly capable of distinguishing the smallest differences in nearly everything, but obviously only does so in what it thinks is important to. Recognising voices is clearly quite important, so we do. Recognising the intonation and tone in a word is very important if you’re a primary mandarin speaker, and so they can, a natural English speaker would find it difficult to do the same, as they don’t need to, and can you tell the difference between the moo’s of two different cows? Well you better believe that Barry the cow can tell the difference between Maisy and Suzy’s moo’s!
