The late '60s and '70s were the heyday of cross-species communication: Allen and Beatrix Gardner taught chimps to use American Sign Language. David Premack trained them with plastic tokens, and Duane Rumbaugh and Sue Savage-Rumbaugh got chimps and bonobos to use a special computer keyboard. Francine Patterson began training Koko the gorilla using ASL in 1972.” <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://slate.msn.com/id/2113960 " target="blank">slate.msn.com/id/2113960 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
