Captiva Memorial Library Program, The Talking Apes: Are they just aping us or do they grasp what we consider language?
Donna Griffin has worked with great apes, specifically, orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees. She has explored tool use and handedness in chimpanzees and worked with cognition in chimpanzees and orangutans as well as social behavior in gorillas. Discussion will include research, an overview of the great apes and their status, and ways they can be helped.
