To primatologists around the world, Kanzi was a star. After years of training with sign language and a specialized keyboard, the 44-year-old bonobo had gained an unusually sophisticated understanding of human words, making him the focus of decades of research into nonhuman primates’ language abilities.

He featured on #60Mins in 1999 for a report on groundbreaking research about animal intelligence and how these communication methods could help non-verbal children.
