The First InterSpecies-Internet Conversation
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 09. 2024
- Kanzi and Panbanisha respond to children in Japan over video via satellite. This is the first time an InterNet Connection was made between a human and a nonhuman species. It was filmed by NHK of Japan who arranged for the connection. The topic of conversation was about the foods that the bonobos would like the children to place in a box that would then be "flown" to Georgia, and a mythical figure would bring this box to the bonobos. This video does no illustrate their daily life and was no so intended. Where requests seem repetitive, it is for purposes of filming and allow different children to participate on their end. The bonobos could hear that someone was actually preparing the box in the lab and wanted them bring it as soon as they heard this. The bonobos did understand that this was a live interactive connection on this first attempt. Kanzi always like to lead - as can be seen here. In the video are Panbanisha with her two sons Nyota and Nathan. The footage also illustrates the communications occurring between and within species, in a group of 4 bonobos that comprehend human speech and lexigrams. Two of the bonobos are adults and two are children. All are related to the matriarch Matata, who was wild-reared as raised the bonobos with Dr's Sue and Duane Rumbaugh, Sue's sister Liz Pugh, and others.
Kanji gets angry at anything he believes is unjust or willful deceit. Otherwise he is very patient and friendly as long as one understands and shows respect for his strength. If he is angry and you explain that you intended no wrong - he is very forgiving. One time - when I did not realize how good his memory was- I promised to bring him a birthday present when I returned in a few weeks from being out of town. And I forgot my promise. When I walked in he was immediately very angry and NOTHING would calm him down and I could not figure what was wrong with so I did not go in with him. I left and thought and thought till I realized what I had done. I walked back in and immediately he was angry again- then I said - are you made because I forgot your Birthday Present ?And screamed Yereeeeeees!!!!!! So I apologized profusely and said I would run get it. I got some small thing and went back and all was forgiven and he was happy 😃. It was not what I brought that mattered to Kanzi - it was that I had forgotten and had not understood that he was waiting and cared about what I had said. He was making a point.
"are you made"
Yoda @ 22:24 ...amazingingly adorable ...makes my heart melt even as a dude.
Sue Rumbaugh do you work with tiko?
How do you think we understands the concept of birthday? Does he understand that we was born that day in the past? Or during that season?
@@eduardogoncalves9311 Maybe Kanji has been taught with pictures etc that his birthday means him when looking like a baby?
Imagine understanding a language but not being able to physically produce the same sounds. It's so weird. Lol
These bonobos are teaching me so much about myself. Kanzi will leave a great legacy for the future of cross species communication.
Well some research have found that the ape's larynx does not move freely unlike human which is why they cant produce speech

@@arbur4746 Idk. Every 10 years or so science confirms that apes do things previously thought to be unique to humans. There was a time when chimps using tools was seen as controversial. Now it's basic knowledge.
He is so patient I’d be flipping out being showcased like that waiting for hours for a surprise snack box I was promised!
Kanzi does not HAVE to do this. He can stop anytime and he did not have to start. He WANTS to do a job of his own free will. I cannot MAKE Kanzi do anything that he does not want to do.
Wow, so he being patient. Not just jumping hoops for grapes.
If he wants the stuff in the box he does,how can you say that when we SEE Zyou make him wait
Until he does what you ask.
@@carriecells144 He said: "Slow."
Lol
I love how the little one just comes flying out of nowhere at 5:58
😂😂😂😂 the highlight of the whole video
I know right! It's so funny 😂
Kanzi earned that box. He waited a long time and worked hard for it by answering all the questions and being obedient. He was hungry.
He is making those noises because they are his spoken language - he is talking
You are such a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing these videos. I can’t get enough of Kanzi and the gang. Fascinating.
The poor thing woman should be in jail
Should be in jail? He's a rescue ape, I guess we can pack him up and send him back to his war torn jungle. If you can't see that these animals are happy with Sue and the team, you must be watching a different video than me. He is healthy, eating, has a family. What is your alternative???
Crazy that we are able to teach them our language, but it's difficult for us to understand his.
@@ZachSquatch7" This past September, the Iowa Primate Learning Sanctuary (IPLS) placed then executive director and senior scientist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh-a pioneer in ape communication studies-on administrative leave following allegations by a group of 12 former center employees that Savage-Rumbaugh put the apes at risk for disease and injury and is mentally unfit to run the facility and care for them. The whistleblowers, known as the “Bonobo 12” allege that Savage-Rumbaugh allowed incestuous copulations between apes that had led to an unauthorized pregnancy (and subsequent miscarriage), forgot where she left the apes, locked the apes outside without access to water for hours at a time, and exposed the animals-including the infant bonobo Teco--to people who did not have proper vaccinations, among other instances of dangerous behavior."
Kanzi is really trying to speak English he’s basically talking through hieroglyphs
"They say you look good with your shirt"
Kanzi: Great. Good. Candy. Watermelon.
Sweet po- sweet potato

She bullied kanzi lmao......he's such a character I watch this on repeat...amazing
Wow, Kanzi is so much different looking than the documentary I just watched. He's also very vocal.
Alisha D what documentary did you watch??
@@kanziwamba9293 czcams.com/video/dBUHWoFnuB4/video.html I believe it's you ha. It's like a 5 or 6 part documentary.
Alisha D Yes the real Kanzi is very different from the documentaries - as are the others - that is why I posted this unclip video - which in many ways is more difficult to watch because there is so much going in.
Yes - he is very different than the documentaries allow you to see. The documentaries cut out the words he is always using in a conversational manner. They want to make their own points. I have been attempting to publish about this for many years but primatologists believe Ape sounds cannot possibly be a true language. So the understanding of what Kanzi can really do has lagged behind where it should be. This is one reason I have begun to publish completely unedited material - such as this video - and will put up a website that explains much more in the not too distant future. The helpful comments I am receiving from persons such as you will begin to make possible an awakening in the minds of others. As a few more people begin to see what is taking place with Kanzi - and what can take place with other bonobos - human/ape linguistic vocal communication will slowly begin to flower 🌸.
@@kanziwamba9293 Fascinating work, I just might want to continue it someday myself, considering I might do primatology in grad school. It's astounding how much there is still yet to learn and discover in this field.
I love their eyes, they’re so expressive and beautiful!
"wont you let her give you a kiss?"
"...o n i o n."
He acknowledged her onion breath, simply amazing.
@Hunter panbanisha was the one who pressed the onion lexigram
Sue manipulated and punished these apes .......can't blame her, she did her best and her best was still amazing
Sue sarcastically says..
Panabanisha telling us all the things she wants..
All the while Sue is being creepy and ordering kanzi to hug and kiss objects and push buttons that kanzi had just finished selecting....
Incredible
All the while....am no better and am just educating exactly how we educate one another....this is no disrespect......this is pure amazement
When Kanzi was young he grew up in a 50 acre Georgia forest. He could roam without a lead and go wherever he wanted. The other bonobos could do the same and when this video was made the younger bonobos still could. Because Kanzi is an adult - people would fear him if they came into the forest or if he went beyond the forest. They would shoot him. Kanzi has never run away or left the forest as I have explained to him the problem. However he does go out of my sight in the forest and so I ask him to wear a lead - which he is willing to do. He does not believe that is a problem because he always knows where I am even if I can’t see him. But it frightens people too much these days if Kanzi is in the forest and he can’t be seen. Kanzi and the other bonobos moved to Iowa in 2004 - where they became famous and then the administration wanted to take them away from the people they knew and loved and put them in a zoo or take their new home away and turn it into a zoo. So they made up lots of wrong stories to justify treating them as zoo animals. They now live in a zoo situation. Kanzi and the other bonobos and all captive apes should be free or at least taught how to live how to live freely., When this video was made - if I stopped the filming session - I could take Kanzi outdoors or he could go at anytime to a fenced in yard of about 1/2 acre. In this video he wants me to go in the forest with him and so do the others. We often spent all day in the forest and there is film of that at “Bonobo People” on utube. Where he is today - he has a one acre outdoor yard that is fenced that he can go to in the summer. He should have at least 5 square miles in which to move with his family. He and they could understand the need to not go beyond that area if it were explained to them and if they were shown the dangers beyond the boundaries.
Have been reading the first part of 'Apes, Language and the Human Mind' from 1998 this evening, and found it very moving. Is there any literature you could recommend that would bring me up to speed with the situation today regarding the scientific response to this unequivocal demonstration of a continuum of syntactic capabilities incorporating (at least) other nonhuman primates?
Oh... I’m so sorry to read that he can’t go I to the woods again.it must be as hard for you as for him. Poor soul,, he has given so much.
Oh hell no, no animal belong in a zoo, and certainly not Kanzi, periodt!
That Kanzi is not allowed the space he & his family have ALREADY DEMONSTRATED THEY UNDERSTAND THEY ARE NOT SAFE GOING BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES....IS THERE SOME WAY WE AS SUPPORTERS AND COMMUNITY CAN HELP YOU & KANZI REALIZE THIS NEED FOR SPACE & MAKE THIS HAPPEN?!

The baby saying "milk" is so bloody funny
He even said 'no milk' and pointed to her chest.

I loved seeing the buildup and the reaction to pink bunny magic delivery from Japan
I am so glad you are sharing ,Your job is outstanding !!!!
Nyota is the son of Panbanisha and a male who came to us from Japan
I am happy 😃 you appreciate my sharing this footage. It has been difficult to do because my relationship with the bonobos who loved me and to whom I dedicated my life was successful - but so successful that others wanted them for their own and they wanted this kind of research to end. They wanted to maintain the myth that love is insufficient to overcome the strength, danger and aggressiveness of apes. Love 💕 is quite sufficient to overcome any danger they pose -if you simply allow them to love you back and treat them fairly in all you say and do. But to accomplish that you must first learn to understand their expressions and you must learn how to signal your good intentions. And you must do this over and over and over until they trust that you mean what you say - because they quickly learned that many people say one thing and do another. We all learn this at a rather young age and it hurts us all.
Apes do not wish to harm people but if people say one thing and do another - once they come to understand language- they resent such behavior.
Like children - they must be taught that having their own way is not the most important thing in life - it is much better to help others. Punishment not only never ever works with an ape - it results in resentment that will manifest in some negative way in the future. I don’t believe that it ever works with human beings either - but teaching and love do - as the need to love and to learn are basic needs within each of us.
Amazing journey of Love ,time, dedication that you gave them Sue , that matters as we can love our parents or family members and not spending time with them means nothing . Glad you are not giving up on them
Social distancing isn’t very difficult when I get to watch these amazing videos! I love Kanzi and all the great work you do to show how much love both humans and apes posses.
They are so vocal it’s so beautiful to see them literally talking and trying to converse with sue
Washoe and Lana and Koko and Kanzi are proof positive that lack of verbal communication ability is not lack of communication capability...it just takes a means of communication equal to both species.
So funny the baby pressing the milk button 😂
Banana!!!!
Peanut peanut peanut peanut
I'm just mesmerized by it all! I love that you love them so much and I'm so happy to see you working so hard at teaching them and they teach you. God bless you and everyone involved 🙏
Yes they have taught me sooooo much. I would never had understood what being human is all about had they not helped me. There was never a single day that apes did not do something new and teach me something totally astonishing. I wish every human being could have the experiences I had with these amazing beings.
@@kanziwamba9293 I can only imagine! I've always wanted to work with animals. It's a passion of mine. I grew up watching people abuse them and my heart breaks because they don't understand that they have feeling just like we do. They can bleed and cry and I can't imagine what torcher some go through. I watch a lot of your videos and it makes me so happy that there is people out there that, it's their job to love them and teach them, not only for you but for them and us. This is a teaching tool for me so I can be better as well. You're one of a kind and they love you so much and I can tell your heart is big enough for them all! Thank you so much for letting us see glimpses of your life with those precious babies. I try watching them with my husband but sometimes I sneak a peek at the next on. Love to you all!!
I got so much respect for the person who teaches Kanzi.
thank you so much for airing this unedited footage of kanzi. While the documentaries are fascinating, it is useful to see the process in unedited form to understand how he actually uses language in-context.
It still amazes me when you talk to Kanzi..he torally understands all that you say and speak to them all Not like a toddler in 2-3 syllables..but l9ng speach. Does kanzi ever get frustated with his own vocals in a way he tries to vocalise english speech? Like he wants to say apple..or yes..no..I know its impossible...or is it? Has he ever asked you something that has been a total surprise and has blown you away?
Thank you so mush for letting us see real Kanzi, it’s very important to understand how it all really goes.
Thank you 🙏🏻 4 your comments. I will be posting an explication of this video and a Bonobo Hope Website in the not too distant future. Am working at this time to help establish an InterSpecies Internet so many more people can talk to many more apes and begin to understand what language and culture actually are from an embodied emic perspective. This video illustrates an ability to use the Internet (this was their first exposure) and an ability to engage in dyadic and triadic reference, as well as the capacity to point; all things denied to apes by other researchers who are fearful 😧 of getting to know them well enough to interact with them. Fear is not a good teacher - Love is - and it is love and family that enables them to do what they do here.
Hello Dr. I have watched every single clip I could find about bonobos and about you and kanzi and all the others. I'm so sorry about panbanisha. I know you love them all like your own children.

I have watched a great deal of the work you have done with Kanzi. It is impressive. I think there is some level of prompting happening sometimes, but it is very obvious that Kanzi is performing his own thought process and forming his own "sentences". It is amazing. He is very smart.
I love your work! Your dedication to teaching/raising these super smart animals is so inspiring❤️
@Dr. Sue Rumbaugh, This is incredibly Awesome. Thank You for sharing Your passion of successfully teaching Kanzi, Panbanisha(sp), & the Others communication skills. • I stumbled across a series of 4 vids of Kanzi when younger. Then, I found this vid of Yours. I just had to tell how amazing this is the work You do.. And how Awesome it is to look in the eyes of our ancestors. Just incredible, Dr. Sue.. Thanks, again... I'll be looking for other vids about Kanzi & Your work. ; )
TAUGHT THEM A WASTE OF TIME, THE ANIMAL HEARS A SOUND THEN PUSHES A BUTTON TIL IT HEARS A SIMILAR SOUND, THESE SOUNDS WE CALL WORDS, BUT TO THE ANIMAL IT MAY AS WELL BE ANY SOUND, CAR CRASHING, BEEPING, ETC. AS THEY HAVE ZERO MEANING TO THE WILD ANIMAL.
Not sure how you arrive at your conclusion??Do you wish to explain?
Kanzi makes thousands of sounds with his vocal tract - many more than by touching a lexigram. He uses the lexigrams only because humans cannot understand his vocal words. But he and the other bonobos in his family can. They know what their own words mean - plus they know what our words mean. This is remarkable and it has been demonstrated with controlled experiments.
It seems to make you angry that they have this ability, but there is no need for anger. It is perfectly normal and natural that closely related species should have such capacities.
@@yonickgears9993 No, They are consciously alive so they know what those sounds mean.
@@kanziwamba9293 don't mind them. Some people are very negative. You will always meet people like them. You keep doing what you do. Always remember that there are well wishers as well...
@@kanziwamba9293 this shakes his faith. That is why he has that view.
This is being filmed with a group of children in Japan. It is to see if they can understand children they do not know who are in another country over the Internet. Because it is being filmed I am trying to enable the camera person to get footage. The kids in Japan have a box and the bonobos are communicating what food they would like to have in the box. The box will then be “delivered” to them. (A similar box is being prepared in our building for them out of their sight.) This why the communications are repeated - to the Japanese children on the Internet. They and the bonobos are figuring out how to communicate and being filmed at the same time.
Ideally the bonobos will be able to live in a forest where the food grows naturally. They have spent their lives growing up in a forest in Georgia. But as adults they need far more than 50 acres.
Looks to me as if Kanzi is doing a better job of communicating than the children, lol.
It’s amazing watching Susan and kanzi grow old together
Thank you so much for all your effort and work.
Given these points about their kindness of character, and having watched a good amount of the videos that are available to us, it is frustrating for me to have to endure the mundane repetitiveness of this Japanese video link.
I'm assuming the reason for doing a link is part of a breeding agreement/business relationship, and therefore assuming that it's supposed to be good for both projects (US & Japan) as it's raising/reinforcing awareness for it all.
Like any big corporate seminar though, most of the content from the link-up is painfully dull, poorly delivered and full of shallow gimmicks intended to connect with the audience, but has the opposite affect in reality (though that _is_ me generalising in order to make a wider point here).
It seems obvious to me that the Bonobos struggle with the repetitiveness and consequent irrelevance of the whole charade. They seem a lot more intuitive when they're involved in the midst of real activities, such as being only in the company of people they are comfortable with, or when they're in the woods for example.
While actually _doing_ real activities, the use or apparent understanding of more complex language doesn't appear to be the main focus then, and so it is evident by how intuitive and well integrated it is when language use is then carried out...
When put in front of a screen with non-familiar people, and then asked to repeat mundane communications, in exchange for a food reward, and then not have that reward given until they repeat the same very basic communication again and again, and still not get the reward; they appear to disengage. It's as if they get confused by the process, as if they are reduced to cynicism (!) like - oh you want me to press the banana button _again_ huh... Are you actually paying attention when I press these buttons for you, because I am pressing the obviously correct button...
In Sue saying how kind Bonobos are, it does seem like an absurd human quirk to inflict this obviously basic, overly repetitive request on them and take so long to give the damn box!
I do believe Sue, that the Bonobos do have their own vocalisations, forming a very basic set of their own communications, and at times are participating to the video link using their mouths rather than constantly repeating the same fruitless task of button pressing, with little sign of the expected reward then arriving.
The kind of intimate, subtle understanding that is required to make the most of understanding them as best as we can, in all of their expressions; will surely come from a passionate, perceptive, dedicated, intelligent yet natural approach like Sue's, rather than playing the "can you press the banana button" game for 20 years. Though like I said, it is probably intended to raise awareness for funding them?
Corporations eliminate souls. People and animals deserve a better existance than one espoused by any corporation!! :)
I have become a fan of your work and was so excited to find out what progress has been made but learnt the unfortunate turn of events. It felt so so unfair. I cannot understand why there were no lobbies to stop this from happening? I was already a Jane Goodall fan since school and your work is such a milestone achievement! I am incredibly grateful to you for sharing the videos.
This Bonobo has captured my imagination and the hopes ive had since childhood, i really want to see this project as it continues
Kanzi is breaking barriers between what has been thought or assumed about ape intelligence & sentience. This research also helps to bridge the gap between humans and apes who share majority of our dna. Being around Kanzi is so interesting. Thank you, Dr. Sue for your contributions to science and anthropology.
We love you Sue and the amazing dedication you have shown to these magnificent Apes!
I might have watched this at least a thousand times, and each time I did, I can't help but appreciate everyone in this video; Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, Kanzi, Panbanisha, Nyota, and Nathan. I adore them all so much!
Hi Sue! When are videos of Kanzi coming out from the current time? Since this is all from 2006, he's definitely advanced A LOT since then. Everyone's curious as to where he's at now with his skills.
Hey, he learnt to play Minecraft! CZcams it
Ribaldi
Yes he should be able to do those things. He and all other adult bonobos require very large forests in which they can travel at will. We should construct both Enlightened Sanctuaries in this country and Gateway Sanctuaries in their countries of origin. A few acres is not sufficient. Just as young human children play in their small yards outdoors but adults travel throughout the town, then throughout the country - bonobos wish to do the same.
Is this 2006 or 2014 etc video?
This is so interesting to learn! Thank you for your CZcams presence. It allows people to learn about great apes in a casual way which I find really interesting and beneficial.
How did this Happen?. How was he allowed to just be take from you?. Why did they take him from you?. Im heartbroken. I was hearbroken he wasn't free already. Now that his situations has only gotton dreadfully worse. This should be illegal 🚫. Were you & your team not able to do anything about it. How did this happen?. How?. Im completely devastated. Is their not any organisation or sanctuary you can try communicate with?. Is there anything you can do?. Is there anything we can do?. Can you do an online petition?. Jesus worst comes to worst, could we try contact Ellen DeGeneres. She owns a sanctuary. They deserve BETTER.
Kanzi is a brilliant and beautiful being. So smart and caring
What beautiful animals and its remarkable how clever they are it's truly amazing. I don't think I'd have the bravery to even attempt to sit down with them though.
Thank u for posting! So fascinated by your work! Kanzi has so much charisma!
Thank U, your comments mean a lot 2 me - as they would to Kanzi and family if they were allowed to see them or 2 have them read 2 them.
Will be posting much much much more - getting ready for the InterSpecies Internet Conference now - this Conference will alter human/animal communication for better in a Fundamental way - that will make possible the dawn of totally new understanding between all species capable of being conscious that R - indeed - conscious, & and able to reflect upon the implications there of. Kanzi and Panbanisha and Nyota achieved this ability.
I'm in love with your work. I am from Brazil and met a short time ago through the lovely Kanzi. I can't stop watching these videos even though I have only basic English. Congratulations, and I hope someday to be able to help in some way.
Miss sue what an amazing thing you are doing with raising awareness of how intelligent and close to humans these apes are I love your work 💜kanzi
Wow I am amazed by Kanzi's skills
and I hope that there will be more bonobos like him, of course, because I would forget a big congratulations to Mrs. Sue Savage - Rumbaugh, and I hope that one day in Poland we will have similar current scientists like you!

I appreciate all of sues work, absolutely amazing. It's time to retire him and live a better life and move on to the next project if he's even still alive
Thank you for posting this unedited footage! It offers some revealing insights into their thought processes, which the concisely-edited documentaries fail to convey.
I'm curious: I noticed that the bonobos already knew the term "bunny." Is the bunny a character you developed specifically to allow immediate follow-up on remote interactions (i.e. having a "bunny" on-site as well as in Japan); or is it a recurring character that you use for their interactions; and, if the latter, what are its other uses?
If it's a recurring character, is the same person always dressed up as the bunny; and, if not, do the apes note the difference in gait, posture, scent, etc?
The concept brings up some very interesting questions that I never considered, about how apes identify individuals. It makes me think of parallels, such as how children never seem to question Santa Klaus. In a parade, at the mall or on the television - they're all the same person to a five-year old. It makes me wonder what a middle-aged ape thinks of the subject.
Dr Sue, I just found the 4 pt series of Kanzie, and then searched your name and found this. I'm so incredibly in awe of your work. I could watch all day. I have been so fascinated by chimps and bonobos since I was a child. I adore Jane Goodalls work as well. I wish I could spend a day shadowing you. Keep up your amazing work. And thank you so much for sharing the video. I hope to find more.
@laura Dr Rumbaugh was forcibly removed from the project and separated from the bonobos, to which she dedicated her life's work, the project was ended and the bonobos are now much more restricted and have less interaction with humans.

I would love to see more videos of Kanzi, Panbanisha, and Nyoto. I just love watching them and your relationship with them. I’ve never observed anything quit like it. Your research went so far beyond any other ape language study I have researched, but I am most fascinated by their individual personalities. Kanzi so eager to please while Panbanisha is such an old soul. She is so reserved and strong minded. I always wonder what it is that contributes to these differences in personality. Is it genetics or a difference in their upbringings...or both?I would love to see a lifelong study that attempts to answer this
Did he always make constant yelps like that? Was that something that was edited out of other videos? What a handsome creature! He’s special! Thank you, Sue, for your hard work, devotion & many hours of detailed research, I’m sure.
Best Regards from Florida 😁🍊🍊🍊
That's just bonobo's normal range of speech, a bit too high for humans. We enjoy a much lower register in our voice.
@@DoctorZisIN It's not just that it's high pitched. It's also loud.
Just recently found out about you. Thank you for what you are doing, i believe you’re paving the way for future generations between the relationships between human, apes and all other animals
im amazed by the connection you guys have. I have ben watching lots of video's with kanzi. and I don't see how anyone could think he isn't self aware or conscious its clear as day. I wish I could have a friendship with kanzi the way you do. they are truly amazing.. are they not allowed to go outside anymore? to me that's very cruel to deprive him of his natural urge to be outside like any living thing.. :( its so wrong.. I hate that it that way.. if I were rich I myself as God is my witness would have a 1000 acre area just for him and his family to go whenever he wants .
Kanzi is the smartest primate other than humans has ever existed I'f I'm not mistaken.
The sad thing is, us humans had many relatives who were very smart or even smarter than us. Neanthertals are speculated to be smarter than us. Their brains were bigger.
Homo erectus was pretty smart too .
And many other homo species.
Sadly they all died out
You keep the bananas, he wants the m&ms 😄
Bonobos are so precious, i love them😭
We do need the singularity of the InterSpecies Internet. New studies of two human brains in interaction show dynamic rapidly changing patterned networks interacting and coordinating constructive behavior. Certainly it was my impression in being with the bonobos that it was possible for my brain to coordinate with theirs in a very positive way that was beneficial to both in that we gained capacities and information from each other. The ability of Peter Gabriel to do this kind of thing with the bonobos at the musical level was equally striking. Some of the highest levels of brain co-ordination and interaction are achieved through musical co-construction of new melodies and rhythms.
The InterSpecies InterNet will enable all different kinds of InterSpecies interaction to flourish as a legitimate kind of behavior and allow people to understand the great flexibility of behavior - especially between species. To support it by allowing Kanzi and Ndume to talk over the Internet - send contributions to the “Indian plan.
They do not post any information about their board members or their IACUC members or their USDA reviews. Bonobo Hope has invited them to a constructive dialogue and is waiting for a response. Bonobo Hope supports freedom for all bonobos and the opportunity for all nonhuman apes to acquire and use a human language as long as they must be captive and interact with strangers and caretakers. They should be given the opportunity to express their thoughts. And the opportunity to learn how to live in freedom. They are too closely related to us to do otherwise. Like Koko they understand the narrative and plot of most movies - certainly the Planet of the Apes. One of their most favorite movies of all is Babe, which illustrates their deep sensitivity to the plight captive nonhumans face. They are able to answers questions about the movies they watch, recall them for decades and to answer questions about their wish to go to Africa.

This is amazing. Thank you for educating us...❤
Kanzi wouldn't like living without humans
He keeps asking but nobody is listening! Can somebody give this poor Ape what he wants.
Ruth R. Yes someone is listening 👂- the bonobos are talking by live video to a group of kids in Japan. The kids are preparing a box 📦 to be delivered to the Bonobos by “bunny” (who is able to travel even faster than Amazon) and who will bring these things to them. Kanzi is telling him what they should put in the box 📦 and they doing so, unless it is something they don’t have. But not to worry - Kanzi has enough to eat - he does not have to work for food.
@@kanziwamba9293 Yes, we can see. He's the fattest Bonobo I saw on the web 😊 (M&M's?)
He also looks very healthy, the fat suits him well. It is clear he is taken care off very well 👍
Yes - the M&Ms are being put in a box for him by the kids on live connect in Japan - M&Ms are a real treat for him - so he wants more in the box
Kanzi likes bring big - just as do Sumo wrestlers, he has been place on a diet and is now skinny.
He likes being called the KANZ and being the biggest Bonobo.
@@kanziwamba9293 The Kanz. That indeed sounds very good. Greetings to the Kanz, and please don't make him to skinny. Gorilla's are always fat, and they are very strong. It looks good on him.
To me the most beautiful and also the beyond-imagination moment ❤ was the moment when she left the room and they both immediately went to the door and waited there for her until she came back. ❤😊 Intelligence and heart was combined in that moment and that totally took my breath away! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Bonobos are incredible! It's so sad how close to extinction they are.
Because they are so peaceful :(
I think going outdoors is his priority.Its monotonous inside with the keyboard.We are curious about them but they are not and need to have a life.
Jyothi pandit amen to that,this lady could learn a thing or two from Jane Goodall
YES - you are correct. Their Life was not ALL like this, most of it was outdoor in 200 acres of forest till they were moved to Iowa by Mr. Townsend and GSU. In Iowa, they cut down all the trees before the bonobos arrived and gave them 3 areas of grass.
@@kanziwamba9293 Us humans are a shameful lot...but people like you give me hope.
@@kanziwamba9293 we appreciate your work, you should continue this work with even more Bonobos and hopefully you will get a larger place too to keep them happy while also working to help them communication.
Kind of morbid how Bonobos are kept in cages when they're so closely related to us humans - both physically and mentally. It's not much different from keeping humans in cages in my opinion.
Generally lab spaces are only for working because normally the troupe lives with the human family.
Highly motivated by food,M&Ms!
This is awesome. Great work everyone. Amazing patience too.
Kanzi: Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow "bananas"
It's cool to see him with a young buddy, so he's not as lonely. He's a genius, legend Kanzi.
Is it a bonobo?
I wish they could have a caged in out door area he could go in. It's sad Kanzi can't go outside anymore because he's big now. He seems to miss it.
The sanctuary came under new managemenr years ago, and now they have a lovely outdoors area with trees! Kanzi is now a healthy weight and very happy.
He can leave anytime he wants.
I want to meet and spend time with an ape one on one so bad, you are incredibly lucky to be able to do what you do, and you do it so well
Thank you for sharing these videos. I'm in love with your work. Fascinating.
This is a good question. The simple answer is “I don’t know.” And I would like to know. Longer explanation will follow.
_Gets an encouraging human response_
Kanzi: *WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY !!!!*
Human researchers in the same room: _speechless_
Yoda is a trip lol It's sweet the way Kanzi shows affection by patting him on the head.
He’s trying to talk too but all he can do is bark!
He’s as smart as my two year old… sounds the same too
This is so freaking cool!
kanzis like let me fucking eat this banana in peace
You can tell these animals are extremely intelligent, all apes are too intelligent to be locked into a zoo, instead we should be helping them with learning and helping their environment, koko and kanzi are perfect examples of this
Dude shut up, people like you don't realize zoos are the main reason a lot of animals are still here and not extinct, cry me a river.
Hello Sue! I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for this video and the others you've posted. I recently have sprung an interest in primates and have found Kanzi the most fascinating animal yet! I cant get enough videos of em and I just love watching the 2 of you interact. I wish I was able to interact with them as you do, just even 1 time, in person. That would be a dream come true! However, I will keep watching the videos you post and will follow you and you're work from here on out. Do you have any personal websites? I'm not on FB or anything like that unfortunately, but I want to learn so much more!!!
I hope that this would be possible for YOU and others as well - it would change the lives of each one and through each one, the world - much for the better.
Канзи такой разговорчивый, что-то говорит на своём бонобьем языке. И на унитаз ходит самостоятельно, умничка🤗
This man just casually excused himself and used the toilet - that's pretty incredible. Makes you wonder about the stories in old tales like mahabharata where apes were used as warriors on the battlefield.
This and others like it are probably the most important videos ever made from the standpoint of anthropology, the nature of intelligence and consciousness.
This is amazing!
And you have one more subscriber.
His intelligence and dexterity are astounding! So is his patience and Dr Rumbaugh's!
I dont know why but Kanzi's smile made me smile automatically in the other documentary when kanzi was younger.
How did I know that the baby was going to use the shirt to talk? So much like a child. Oh my gosh! How cute.
I certainly hope that recent videos will be out very soon. Kanzi has advanced from the video above, as have the other bonobos in his family.
Bonobo Hope, a nonprofit that co-owns the bonobos - is working with Dr. Taglialatela to set forth a research and fund-raising platform that would allow not only Kanzi, but other bonobos and chimpanzees to be permitted to utilize the Internet - for purposes of communicating with humans and apes in other locations. This would generate many videos if approved.
This project is being proposed in co-operation with a nonprofit organization led by Peter Gabriel - the “InterSpecies InterNet,” and is, in part the outgrown of a meeting of many scientists interested in communication with nonhumans - held at MIT July 2019.
The ultimate of ISI goal is to develop a common matrix that will allow for cross species communication between humans and nonhumans.
As this video illustrates -Kanzi and family comprehend and speak two “languages” - Bonobo English and English-English.
The fact these bonobos can understand English-English far better than I can understand Bonobo- English reveals that my brain is focused only on human sound interpretation- but their brains are able to handle cross-species sound interpretations.
Thus the bonobos are better at cross-species communication and language than either myself or most other humans.
We humans have vastly underestimated the linguistic ability of other species, from birds to dogs to apes to whales.
In this video Kanzi is SAYING - vocally - many English words and phrases - which are in need of translation - and the current proposal is designed to help the process of understanding other species begin, by providing more information and interaction to the lay public - as the lay public learns to work in cooperation with scientists to begin the true understanding on nonhumans.
Kanzi and the other bonobos in his family will hopefully be permitted to participate. Their ability to translate between lexigrams and their own words is UNIQUE in the field of nonhuman communication. They are a living breathing Rosetta Stone.
By beginning a cross species Internet - we hope to enable humans to begin to understand the vocal systems of the bonobos - and then other species much better.
Sue Rumbaugh sounds boss. They should have tea parties and make a government and smoke weed and let them do drugs and experiment with technology to invent flying saucers. Also they should make TV stations run by bonobos and also make Bonobos have diamond jewellery and make hip hop
@@GrandmasterUV Uhh you are not really watching the video very closely or maybe you need to see more video to realize you are drawing your erroneous conclusions from movies like the Planet of the Apes - rather than what these bonobos are actually doing. They would not want or need, to do the things you suggest. They are not "mini" humans, they are bonobos, but they are willing, here to demonstrate that CAN understand internet communication. As far as "boss" - while try visiting a group of apes and see what happens when anyone who tries to be "boss" walks in.
Sue Rumbaugh at least give him a joint man come on
Sue Rumbaugh 🤣🤣🤣
@@kanziwamba9293 hi sue amazing work btw. Showing banobo's can understand sentences. I think I understand why you are so defensive but try relax a wee bit. All the best.
This is so fun to watch. I would love to do this as a career although it definitely is far from easy. The relationship Kanzi has with Sue is amazing.
love everything u do and love kanzi, wanna know does kanzi & his son use the board to talk to one another? can't wait to see more like these love u guys!!!
Didnt understand... Why they cant go outside? In the yard?
I can’t stop watching this
