Reading some articles about animals and speech, and it just brushes a bit of the neurology of it, but that got me curious:

Is there any link between a person's (or an animal's) mimicry skill and/or their ability to create complex noises just by manipulating their body to their overall intelligence?

**Note**, I'm not referring to "speech", ie. the actual comprehension and assignment of value to those noises; I'm just curious if the *ability* and/or the creativity of making and/or mimicking those noises has any correlation.
