120 | Sign Language With Primates | Why We Do What We Do - a podcast by The WWDWWD Crew

Many point to the uniqueness of humans in their language. Others suggest that we just haven't found a way to teach language to other species. This all changed with researchers reported teaching hundreds of signs to primates. But if they were successful, where are all the primates with language? Why aren't there robust or at least existing research programs to teach language to another species? This is a discussion of the controversial history of trying to break the species language barrier.
