Next of Kin: What My Conversations with Chimpanzees Have Taught Me About Intelligence, Compassion and Being Human - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
NEXT OF KIN is an enthralling voyage of discovery. Through the story of a young chimpanzee, Washoe, Roger Fouts shows us not only that humans and chimpanzees are even closer than was previously thought but also that chimpanzees can achieve fluency in language. This moving account of Roger Fout's personal and professional odyssey will challenge many of our assumptions about non-human primates. It is the humanity which Washoe has evoked that has driven him to write NEXT OF KIN and enabled us to share this unique story.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Roger Fouts, a leading animal psychologist and pioneer in the field of animal language research, achieved almost celebrity status in the late 1960s when he succcessfully taught his adopted chimp, Washoe, how to use sign language. For the last 30 years Fouts and Washoe have been exploring the frontiers of primate intelligence, creativity and culture. Fouts uses this unique relationship as the narrative for this book, which is both a personal memoir and professional journal. The book also traces how Fouts was forced to rethink his professional identity because of the close personal binds that develop between him and the chimps. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR003800129
