Douglas Preston Quote
The question is, do we really need talking chimpanzees? The supporters of the project tell us they are unlocking the secrets of human language. But Sen. Proxmire—backed up by an eminent-scientist from the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Craig Miller—has called that idea into question. The project has yielded nothing more than elaborate imitative behavior on the part of the apes. Nothing approaching real communication—that is, language—has resulted.
