Why are ape first words downplayed? Scientists feared anthropomorphism and focused more on grammar than single words. Female researchers also battled sexism, avoiding appearing "maternal" about their subjects. undark.org/2025/04/18/wil…

Scientists have long studied great apes learning words, yet their first linguistic breakthroughs rarely receive the celebration human first words do. Washoe the chimp's first sign was a beckoning "come-gimme" gesture at age 1-2. 🔗: undark.org/2025/04/18/wil…
