Synopsis

NEXT OF KIN is an enthralling voyage of discovery. Through the story of a young chimpanzee, Washoe, Roger Fouts shows us not only that humans and chimpanzees are even closer than was previously thought but also that chimpanzees can achieve fluency in language. This moving account of Roger Fout's personal and professional odyssey will challenge many of our assumptions about non-human primates. It is the humanity which Washoe has evoked that has driven him to write NEXT OF KIN and enabled us to share this unique story.
