There’s good evidence she never actually understood language in any meaningful way

Is she the same who made a sad face with her fingers when her ( i think) baby died?

She also wrote a short book about a lonely gurl gurilla that met a wiley fox in the jungle.

High five for Koko

Dunno if it’s true but I heard too that they never asked questions. Which if true is interesting, if not, then I’ve given out false information probably. Stupid gorilla propaganda never know these days

Some of Final words of Koko on video: “Earth Koko love. But man stupid… stupid! Koko sorry, Koko cry. Time hurry. Fix Earth! Help Earth! Hurry! Protect Earth. Nature watches you. Thank you.”

Unfortunately all these ape communication studies turned out to be delusions at best, outright fraud at worst. All you have to ask yourself is where the next Koko is. If these experiments were producing any real results, why haven’t they continued into the modern day?

Wasn’t she also the gorilla who loved seeing human boobs. Signing to her handlers asking to see them, also signing it to celebrities at some point where the handlers then had to lie about what she was saying.

As far as I know, it is literally impossible for animals to understand human language. Our brains are built differently than everything else to allow for it. Koko was not capable of true language and is largely a bullshit story. Nim Chimpsky is right there to prove it.

What is also interesting as fuck is even though she and numerous other apes have learnt sign language, not once has any ape been recorded asking a question.
60+ years of teaching and research and not one ape has asked a single question to expand knowledge on things they dont understand.

And crazy to think as smart as they are, no gorilla has ever been observed asking a question
