The remarkable story of the "talking" ape who is proving animals can think …
Kanzi, one of the resident bonobos at Great Ape Trust of Iowa, has been featured in cover stories in Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic, and has been the subject of a “NOVA” documentary. He is directly responsible for discoveries that have forced the scientific community to recast its thinking about the nature of the mind and the origins of language. He is Kanzi, an extraordinary bonobo who has overturned the idea that symbolic language is unique to human beings. This is the moving story of how Kanzi learned to converse with humans and the profound lessons he has taught us about our animal cousins, and ourselves.
