      abstract = {Current primate research has yielded stunning results that  not only threaten our underlying assumptions about the  cognitive and communicative abilities of nonhuman primates,  but also bring into question what it means to be human. At  the forefront of this research, Sue Savage-Rumbaugh  recently has achieved a scientific breakthrough of  impressive proportions. Her work with Kanzi, a  laboratory-reared bonobo, has led to Kanzi's acquisition of  linguistic and cognitive skills similar to those of a two  and a half year-old human child. Apes, Language, and the  Human Mind skillfully combines a fascinating narrative of  the Kanzi research with incisive critical analysis of the  research's broader linguistic, psychological, and  anthropological implications. This new volume offers a  radical revision of the sciences of language and mind, and  will be important reading for all those working in the  fields of primatology, anthropology, linguistics,  philosophy of mind, and cognitive and developmental  psychology.},
