Sue Savage-Rumbaugh's work on the language capabilities of the
bonobo Kanzi has intrigued the world because of its far-reaching
implications for understanding the evolution of the human language.
This book takes the reader behind the scenes of the filmed language
tests. It argues that while the tests prove that Kanzi has
language, the even more remarkable manner in which he originally
acquired it - spontaneously, in a culture shared with humans -
calls for a re-thinking of language, emphasizing its primal
cultural dimensions.
