Ape Learns to Speak English by Watching Bush on TV
Kanzi learns phrases watching Bush on TV
Atlanta (IWR Satire) – A bonobo, who has grown up among humans, has developed the ability to speak in English, claims a research team from the Georgia State University
Dr Taglialatela reports that: “We haven’t taught him how to speak – he’s doing it on his own. Kanzi seems to have learned to speak English by watching President Bush on CNN. In particular, Kanzi likes to repeat the President’s misstatements or Bushisms. I think Kanzi learned that he can get a lot of attention in the lab by shaking a banana at staff and saying “I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.”
