>Elephants address one another with individually specific name-like calls
You are going to make jokes about pronouns, argumentum ad elephantidae, obvious-but-unspoken-problems and obese women aren't you?

>We used machine learning to demonstrate that the receiver of a call could be predicted from the call’s acoustic structure, regardless of how similar the call was to the receiver’s vocalizations. Moreover, elephants differentially responded to playbacks of calls originally addressed to them relative to calls addressed to a different individual. Our findings offer evidence for individual addressing of conspecifics in elephants.
Probably going to make a joke about spurious correlations first.

When you listen to elephant calls moved into the human hearing range it's pretty obvious it's likely some kind of speech.

The moon is 365000 km away from us. If you stacked every elephant of every species from every continent, on top of each other, all the elephants would die.
