A Thread. Some of the claims made by both Koko the Gorilla (who ‘mastered’ sign language) and her keepers are so bizarre that couldn’t possibly be true. These stories sound so made-up that you begin to think Koko herself must have been a hoax
While Koko seems to have understood simple verbal concepts like “cry” and “frown” she didn’t use them as we would. Her sentences were strings of words in essentially random order. Allegedly she could sign “Koko likes to play outside,” but probably it was just “sad, cry, bad” etc
Via @NatGeo, Koko not only could understand over 2000 words of spoken English but was able to understand abstract concepts like death, purpose and, allegedly, communism. (She thought it sounded like a great idea according to her keeper, who incidentally was an open communist)
