With Apes in Mind: Emergents, Communication & Competence

Duane Rumbaugh, a highly acclaimed primatologist, tells the story of his ground breaking research with Lana, the first chimpanzee to communicate with humans using a computer keyboard. This richly illustrated narrative of his investigations into primate learning, cognition, intelligence and language first at the San Diego Zoo(1955) and later at the Language Research Center in Georgia is fun, highly informative, insightful and entertaining. He describes methods of study that worked and those that didn’t. All proceeds from this book will go directly to support the apes he describes and their families. Please help us to Help the Apes!
