Interview with Kanzi researcher Sue Savage-Rumbaugh--important issues are discussed

A DVD featuring Kanzi, Bonobo People, will be shown in class.
This DVD is also on reserve at the library so you can view it again.
ALSO: In the video case is a pamphlet Data Base to accompany Bonobo People, which provides a full transcript of testing sessions portrayed in the video, including segments of the testing session not shown in the video, "to enable viewers to see that the scenes which have been selected for this tape are reflective of the general level of competency illustrated within the edited tape."

This book is on reserve at the library [or see professor if not available]:
Savage-Rumbaugh, S., & Lewin, R. (1994). Kanzi: The ape at the brink of the human mind. New York: John Wiley & Sons.

The following book, written by a leading researcher of primate social behavior, is on reserve at the library; it provides more general information about bonobos (and great photos), and it contains a section on Kanzi:
De Waal, F. (1997). Bonobo: The forgotten ape. Berkeley: University of California Press.
