@@lanishajackson2677 You commented this a long time ago so you probably don't even remember it, but actually, the team where Kanzi lives has learned a few words from them. They have sounds they make for "yes," "banana," and "peanut," and probably for other words as well, and the researchers sometimes use them to denote the objects!
It was alien to humans up a few centuries, too. The closest thing both humans and animals had before were calls, but hearing this was coupled with a physical object that made the sound rather than hearing it from somewhere in space. He learned to link the things SO QUICKLY.
@@lanishajackson2677 Say you have two teachers trying to teach you maths. One is a much wiser and intelligent than you and very dedicated teacher, actively trying to teach you using advanced techniques. The other teacher is much stupider than you and isn't even putting the effort to try to teach you anything, all you can do is watch him do his everyday life errands and try to learn maths from that. Now, which teacher will make teaching maths easy vs hard? The difference will in fact be felt by several orders of magnitude. Same thing, humans teaching English make it much easier than the other way around, humans trying too learn bonobo. And this remains true DESPITE the fact that bonobos are much less intelligent that us. Because our intelligence is SOME orders of magnitude higher than bonobos, but the teaching capability differences are LOTS MORE orders of magnitude of difference. What our bonobo-language learning advantage we get from our higher intelligence is MORE than ignored by fact that the bonobo teaching si an even bigger disadvantage. So when taking *both* effects together, it ends up being much easier to teach english to a bonobo, than to learn bonobo from bonobos. A more fair comparison would be: what is easier? humans trying to learn bonobo from bonobos, just by watching them (with no active teaching involved), or bonobos trying to learn english from humans, just by watching them (also with no active teaching involved)? Give us a bonobo actively trying to teach us, and yeah it will be easier for us to learn bonobo, than for bonobos to learn english from scientist teachers. Otherwise, we should not try to compare apples and oranges.
Imagine how freaking trippy that was for him. All he probably knew a phone to be until that point was just some plastic shape, and then all of a sudden it knows his name and grants him wishes
He also observed the other caretaker talking into it, put two & two together, and realized he'd need sound to answer the way she does to questions he's being asked from a disembodied voice, which in itself shows he learned what a phone was used for on the fly through observation only, which is amazing.
I am saddened by the regression I have seen in Kanzi's potential. The new team does not have the same goals in mind and it is truly a shame that Kanzi's true development will never be realized. Hopefully, one day original friends and researchers of Kanzi will be able to see him again. R.I.P. Panbanisha. Cheers from Vegas
They fired Dr sue and he hasn’t been the same since. Kanzi really was adapting so close to a near human level and the fire the people that made kanzi so smart in the first place
@@jordancase4373 yep. I think it's because Kanzi bit one of the researchers. He was watching sue get yelled at kanzi said he wanted the researcher to bite the person yelling at sue. The researcher said NO. Kanzi said if the researcher didn't bite the man yelling at sue, Kanzi would bite him. the researcher just dismissed it as an empty threat. 5 minutes before the end of the day, Sue went to collect Kanzi, Kanzi ran past sue and into the researchers office and Bite him like he said he would. True Story.
@@EarlSmith2469 it shows how much of a bond they had with sue, in a world where so many primates in these institutions seem to be abused and used but I think sue and these animals had a bond where she was basically there moms. Also, sue said that when she was fired all of the animals threw fits and were screaming trying to get out. Both her and kanzi deserves better.
Sue can actually understand what they’re saying to an extent, there’s a few videos where she explains what kanzi is saying vocally like banana but kanzi has a greater understanding of English than the researchers do with his language
The researchers aren't trying to learn bonobo language, they're trying to get the kanzi to understand english. Because we're the more advanced species, it's easier to establish a brigde with english. When the brigde is more or less established it'll be infinitely easier to understand bonobo.
I love this so much, omg. He was like "Suprise!" oh yah, I like those, especially a food surprise. And M&ms man, all hominids love m&ms. Then his friend showed up and he was like, DUDE, I'm STOKED!
Why are humans always surprised when animals can do task that make haman life easier? They survive in the wild which is one of the hardest things to do.
Kanzi is so smart, smarter than a lot of people. He has a great memory. I just don't know why everyone is surprised. Most animals especially Bonobos are intelligent. They can think better because they aren't violent.
@@James-kv6kb Ah, i see that now, sorry that said, he wasn't taking about all monkeys but specifically about bonobos and they're pretty chill compared to a lot of other related species, especially when compared with the likes of chimps which by some measures are more aggressive than us even (we just got them beat in sophistication when it comes to violence but i guess that's natural when a species learns this much and can has the means to utilize all that knowlegde)
Kanzi is great because the Koko critics have to take it on the chin and face because lexigrams aren't open to interpretation the way Patterson interpreted Koko's signs. Some of those criticisms are very legitimate, don't get me wrong, but in the case of Kanzi and his lexigrams, there is no gray room. He knows the words and symbols, and that isn't deniable. There's still a possibility for reading into his communications too much, but there is ZERO doubt that he has a meaning for all of the words the researchers claim he does.
Lynn...I sure am vegan & I'm wondering why your comment comes across as so unfriendly....Of course "ALL" animals are intelligent & worthy of respect & simple gentle kindnesses...That's why I made a point to express my PASSION for *a l l* animals...BTW, should you be curious, I started my work with Animal Right's groups in the early 80's (in Mamphis) & ending up becoming a foster 'Mom" ...With my fair share of "foster "failures" over the years... : ) Blessings to you...
Please don't judge her - she has put so much effort and sacrifice into caring for and teaching bonobos, which will hopefully help protect all apes in the future, as well as other creatures.
I've been watching Kanzi's videos and im thinking, am i looking at a new generation of Apes who will be living along with humans and start developing their gens faster and learning how to communicate with us and each other with more words/signs over time, like such ape might be able to learn his child these words faster than us using their own language. We should not forget the technology that would read the brains electrical signs which would allow understanding what an ape is really thinking, its hard for them to express and explain so maybe such a tech will show that apes do really think and try to speak like us but something is preventing them.
Anyone who watches these videos and still denies evolution...I don't know how they can possibly be helped. If you're still in denial we share ancestry with these incredible animals, probably nothing will change your mind.
Explain to me why only a small group of them evolved into what humans are today. Why didn't the rest of them evolve then? Why didn't they evolve AT ALL during hundreds of thousands of years? They just stayed the same... No evolution at all... Makes no sense.
All he had to do to prove his intelligence was strip that drinking straw packaging out and poke his juice box first try. I know undergrads still working toward that skill.
You scientists deserve a medal, I would lik to be able to talk to an ape, the ape itself would have to have some sort of intelligence to understand what you are saying to him as well, it would be so great to get enough bonopas to learn this and they in turn could teach other apes to talk as well, a school for apes doesn’t sound to far away, thank you great videos thank you kanji .
My puppy did this the first time she saw me using my cellphone on speaker. She was trying to figure out where the person was. This kind of intelligence IS not isolated to apes.
not necessarily. Their existence in the wild is much less complex and doesn't call for complicated language. Their communications with each other in the wild is very primitive compared to what was going on here.
Our existence in civilization is much less challenging and does not call for learning all language, just our particular subset of language, English. So we generally stop learning language after a few years. This may seem amazing, but English is a subset of language. Hence, all you have to do is look at the most basic building blocks, sounds. First, learn what each animal sound means. Since we are animals and we make sounds, we have already in place a way to understand animal sounds. Letters! Take the rrrrr sound made by growling. That is the letter, "R." Once we are able to spell the sounds animals make, we can translate them into letters. Then all we have to do is look up what each letter means in our own language and think about it. R means think. The growl means you'd better think about your approach. The letter R comes to us from ancient forms of writing. It was once a picture of a head. We only know a little bit about our own language. Now we know a little bit more.
This is amazing. I hope they didn't exaggerate how positive some of the results were in order to keep the funding going though...or if they did, I hope they came clean later on.
