RIP Koko the Gorilla. She was 46. We learned so much about our NON-uniqueness as humans from her. And ourselves in turn.
And given current STEM funding priorities, it's unlikely anyone will attempt an experiment like this again anytime soon.
Goddamn it.
What does it say about us as a species that we're more interested in killing each other than teaching gorillas how to talk?
@wohali that the crows and octopuses will survive us
@hirojin if we don't eat all the octopuses first :(
