Title: Kanzi : The Ape at the Brink of the Human Mind by Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, Roger Lewin ISBN: 0-471-15959-X Publisher: Wiley Pub. Date: September, 1996 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Important but Defensive
Comment: This is an important, if somewhat defensive book. I would have been much more interested to read more about Kanzi's day to day behavior and to see some actual scientific data instead of the story of the investigator's scientific publishing woes. Nevertheless, this book should be read widely and it's message that we humans are not as unique as we like to think needs careful consideration by all scientists and the general population.
Rating: 5
Summary: Outstanding glimpse into the mind of our closest relative.
Comment: This wonderful book by Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and Roger Lewin forces the reader to reevaluate what it means to be human. Kanzi is a remarkable ape that has revolutionized our understanding of how our closest relatives think, how our common ancestors may have evolved, and why we may not be as different as once supposed. Roger and Sue's collaboration is very readable and conveys the excitement of Sue's scientific research and Kanzi's remarkable talents
