		As an infant, Kanzi accompanied his mother to sessions where she was taught language through keyboard lexigrams, but displayed little interest in the lessons.
		Also notable is Kanzi's ability to understand spoken language and associate it with lexigrams, Kanzi's ability to understand simple grammatical sentences, and possibly his invention of novel vocalized words.

		So Panbanisha opened her backpack, where there was a gorilla mask inside and she pointed to symbols on the keyboard and asked Mary to play 'Monster.' Mary did that, and Mercury flew indoors.
		Panbanisha was able to use the game to stop him from displaying at her.

		It was a great surprise to researchers then when one day, while Matata was away, Kanzi began competently using the lexigrams, becoming not only the first observed ape to have learned aspects of language naturalistically rather than through direct training but also the first observed bonobo to use language at all.

		Kanzi was presented with 415 blind trials, and he responded correctly to 74% of these whereas Alia was presented with 407 blind trials and only correctly responded to 65% (Savage-Rumbaugh et al., 1993).
		Kanzi’s younger sister, Mulika, was raised in an environment very similar to that of her brother, however, she was introduced to lexigrams at a much younger age and began using them nearly a year earlier than Kanzi had (Savage-Rumbaugh et al., 1986).
		Kanzi and Panbanisha were exposed to novel objects they were unfamiliar with to determine how quickly they could learn the new vocabulary words.

	Language is not only for humans? - Objectivism Online Forum
		This one sentence struck me: "Panbanisha once used the symbol for "monster" when referring to a visitor who misbehaved." The article uses this as an example for the her creative use of language and symbols, but it also shows that Panbanisha understands what misbehaving means and that it's wrong at some level.
		Whether Kanzi was asking if it still hurt, or if it did hurt at one point, he's showing that he understands that things can be painful to other creatures that aren't painful to him, and in this case it shows that he understands where that pain might have come from.
		Kanzi knew that the symbol for 'pear' meant the fruit, and yet used it to represent a similar sound, also connecting it with something else he associated with that sound, in a way he hadn't been taught.

		Kanzi and his relatives who have learned English (most impressively his young nephews) use electronic keyboards, touching a series from among 350 keys to "speak" English sentences in a computer voice.
		Kanzi and his clan will move into his new home when the first building of the IPLS is complete next year.

		Kanzi was not taught the use of lexigrams actively, but appeared to have mastered their use on his own, even though he had never seemed to be particularly interested in his mother's language course.
		Kanzi and Alia were familiar with "dogs" and "snakes" as real animals, whereas in these tests, they referred to toy animals, and (toy) snakes appear to be able to bite (toy) dogs.
		At one point Kanzi was observed to move away from a person he would later indicate as agent, go to the board (where he indicated an action lexigram), and then return to the person (using the gesture to designate her as agent).

		Panbanisha loves to play hide-and-seek, and she wanted to hide with me. We found a secluded spot on the riverbank and huddled together under a bush.
		When the researcher on the prowl yelled, "Panbanisha, where are you?" she turned to me, her eyes alert and cautious, as if to say "shhh, don't move!" I experienced the same kind of intimate camaraderie I did as a child, hiding out in the woods with my best friend avoiding imaginary foes.
		I was awed and honored to be accepted by Panbanisha and as happy as she was to have made a new friend.

		Panbanisha is described as even more advanced, probably because she began using the computerized keyboard earlier in life.

		Kanzi, like other primates, can communicate by pointing at symbols - but this is the first report of an ape making sounds that have distinct meanings across different situations.
		Kanzi frequently wants a banana to be given to someone else, or to be saved for later, or to be hidden -- the kind of truncation you are referring to is too simplistic to account for the kinds of things that happen daily among bonobos here.
		Let me give you a simple example,-- when Kanzi was recently being moved they lifted the cage in which he was confined off of a large truck with a fork-lift.

		An amazing side effect of the use of ideograms was that Panbanisha, in the absence of the ideogram keyboard, took up a piece of chalk and drew the symbol that she required, with no instruction or, indeed, prompting of any kind.
		Hence it has been seen that bonobos are not only capable of linguistic comprehension and usage, but of abstract thought and of primitive writing.
		Panzee and Panbanisha are also both able to knap stone tools, with Panzee receiving instruction from a human stone knapper and Panbanisha receiving instruction from Panzee.

		Even more strikingly, Panbanisha added that the first person was being "bad" to play such a trick-the same comment that the researcher's four-year-old daughter made.

		They primarily communicate vocally, in a language that has not yet been decyphered; however, we do understand some of their natural hand gestures (for example, an invitation to play).
		Two bonobos, Kanzi and Panbanisha, have been taught a vocabulary of about 200 words (they can type them on a special keyboard, draw the corresponding icons using chalk, and respond to spoken sentences).
		These results, some (see, for example, Peter Singer) would argue, qualifies them for the same rights as humans.
