That was a fascinating article, Carol. I have talked about Koko when covering language in my Intro course, and was interested to read about the controversy about just how much Koko actually does accurately use and understand sign. I always felt, too, that there is a *lot* of anthropomorphizing going on there. (And what's with all the nipple stuff? That was just kinda weird.)
