2004年12月23日,美国动物智慧学家达奥,在非洲森林中找回了当今世界唯一能与人对话的大猩猩詹姆斯。欧美不少动物智慧学家为此欢欣鼓舞,拍手称庆。从上世纪80年代初以来,科学家一直试图让动物开口说人话,可是费尽心机,就是没法实现。是达奥,他巧妙利用电脑技术成功地让猩猩“说人话”。这一成果无疑是当代动物智慧学的重大突破。不过,由此引发的争论之有趣,更令人拍案叫绝。 On December 23, 2004, DAO, the animal ethicologist of the United States, recovered the only gorilla James in the world today who can talk with people. Many animal wisdom scientists in Europe and the United States rejoiced and cheered. Since the early 80s of last century, scientists have been trying to get animals to speak and speak, but it is hard to achieve it. Dao, who cleverly used computer technology to successfully make orangutans “talk about people.” This achievement is undoubtedly a major breakthrough in contemporary animal wisdom. However, the interesting controversy that arouses this is even more tempting.
