==Partial revert==
I reverted　much of [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Sue_Savage-Rumbaugh&diff=100575708&oldid=100213372 this edit] because it introduced one factual inaccuracy and, in my view, went too far in making a claim that non-human apes have true linguistic ability. In detail: (1) bonobos are not closer to us than common chimps - they are equally related to us; (2) the claim that Kanzi's use of the keyboard constitutes ''linguistic'' communication, not just communication, is disputed; (3) I don't think the controversy just boils down to different definitions of language and evolution because, for example, Savage-Rumbaugh works in different theoretical frameworks from mainstream linguists, e.g. behaviorism. I will try to fill in some gaps in the article. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 07:34, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
