Did you know there's a talking gorilla? | #TalkingGorilla | BBC

You just don't expect a

gorilla

to be like that. You

know

everyone thinks Q is a quiet, stupid, rat, big, tempestuous dog, and she was small, sweet, and creative. More than 40 years ago, Penny Patterson set out to discover if humans and

gorilla

s could ever communicate. I was a student at Stanford, a friend of mine said this woman is doing something amazing teaching sign language to a gorilla and I thought you must have been joking from the beginning. Koko learned about a new sign every month and soon Penny noticed. Koko combining signs to ask for things what started as a PhD to teach sign language - Koko turned into a lifelong relationship it seemed like penny was in love with Koko and the way a mother could be in love with her daughter except that his daughter has the strength of ten men.

The news about Koko made headlines around the world. Koko, who is particularly intelligent and is the subject of the longest study of ape language to date, but although Penny's findings were seen as a breakthrough by the media, there were some scientists that Penny Patterson, less convinced, is an overzealous mother who was very proud of her surrogate children and who focuses a lot on projects. The meanings are for those children that it may not be evident until the next day that there was a big gap between what you could believe and what you could believe. proof that these animals are doing penny believes it I think the public probably believes it her abilities to simply recognize herself in a mirror she is able to point to that image and say that's me which indicates awareness for herself she has this awareness of itself as that of a person Now, almost half a century after the project began, the line between humans and apes has become a course in Argentina that has ruled that an orangutan can be granted some of the rights laws that humans enjoy, what in the tables that humans have to classify other species and animals.

With thousands of hours of footage collected over forty-four years, Project Coco finally proves that animals can communicate with humans and even share their deepest thoughts and feelings with us. Maybe these animals are thinking there's a lot more going on. in their heads and maybe we think or there are some things that will always separate us from our closest relatives how human can a gorilla be what can its brain do like a human can do?
