That isn't proven. There is plenty of evidence, that "complex" is relative and humans have limited sensory organs, compared to other species. Naturally our vocalizations have had to diversify.
It's important to remember that the vast majority of all interspecies communication is non-vocal (this includes non-written). The ability to write is unique to humans, as far as I know. There are more, but they aren't related to vocalization (or communication at large).
- lisper 7y ago> The ability to write is unique to humans Yes, and this is crucial. It's what allows us to operate as Turing machines. I was reminded of another distinguishing characteristic of humans by a recent event [1]: we tell stories. http://news.mit.edu/2019/patrick-winston-professor-obituary-0719 http://news.mit.edu/2019/patrick-winston-professor-obituary-...
