Chimps Sign Language Conference With Deaf Students
Chimpanzees at the Institute for Primate Studies in Norman communicate through American Sign Language. A group of deaf East Central University students visited to test if chimpanzees like Washoe Booee Bruno and Ally could sustain a silent conversation with humans. The session showed signs for items like food and objects and ended with mutual goodbyes.
