Summary
In this groundbreaking work, Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and Roger Lewin explore the remarkable story of Kanzi, a bonobo who challenged what scientists thought they knew about language, intelligence, and the human-animal divide. Through innovative methods of communication, Kanzi demonstrated an extraordinary ability to understand and use symbols, offering insights into the evolution of language and the cognitive capacities of non-human primates. This book chronicles years of scientific experiments, illustrating the deep bond between humans and apes while raising thought-provoking questions about the nature of intelligence and what it means to be human.
