I learned language of orangutans. Orangutans are so much like humans that the word 'orandutan' means 'person of the forest' in the Malay lamguage!
Rob Shumaker is the cordinator of the Orangutan Language project. He studies the orangutans' mind and discover more about how they think. Rob Shumaker is working at a computer with Inda. Inda is able to identify object correctly. And Inda is learning a vocabulary of symbols such as bananas, apples, and cups. Inda is very fast with the symbols-sometimes even faster than the computer!!
I think orangutans are very clever. Now, I am interested in language of orangutans.
The picture of orangutans was interesting.
返信削除Orangutan is so intelligent.

返信削除I think another purpose is to find out how humans think. If we can understand orangutans better we might be able to learn some things about why WE do what we do....
What is your opinion?
