Which statement is false? Chimpanzees have their vocal cords situated higher in the pharynx than in humans. All mammal species can choke (obstruction of windpipe) on food. The fact that we can choke on our food is an evolutionary compromise that is largely compensated that we have the capacity to speak. Choking is partly a consequence of the fact that there is a space between the posterior end of the soft palate and the dorsal tip of the epiglottis.
