I found this
article so interesting because we all know that animals can learn language, as
a fact we know Alex the parrot, Koko the gorilla, and I’m sure there is many
more. Other example was Michael Jackson’s chimp, he knew sign language too, two
weeks ago, I saw on facebook on this page, which its name is “History in
Pictures” when Michael Jackson was being interviewed by many reporters, and
his chip (Bubbles) was with him, but while the interview was going on his chimp wants to
get a cup where Michael was drinking something and Michael told him to sit down
in sign language, and the chimp did so!
Isn’t cool?? I think it is!! ☺
Now that we are more related to this topic, here is the story of Nim the chimp, probably one of the firsts chimps to learn sign language.
This real story took place in 1970 at New York, Oklahoma and Texas
but what happened with Nim ? was he able to learn sign language? was he able to live a normal live like any other chimp? What happened with the study psychologists were doing to Nim ? What is the book "Nim Chimpsky, The Chimp Who Would Be Human" about?
This Artccle is going to melt your heart! enjoy it
