Kanzi Listening to Human Speech |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Kanzi, a male bonobo, or pygmy chimpanzee, identifies an object that he has just heard named through headphone speakers. At a young age, Kanzi learned to understand simple human speech and to communicate by using lexigrams, abstract symbols that represent objects and actions. A keyboard of lexigrams is pictured in the background. | ||||||
