This is a critical assessment of recent experiments designed to impact a language, either natural or invented, to an ape. The ape's performance is compared with the course of semantic and syntactical development in children, both speaking and signing. The book also examines what is known of the neurological, cognitive, and specifically linguistical attributes of our species that subverse language.
