The book critiques recent experiments aimed at teaching language to apes, arguing that their achievements represent only crude simulations rather than true language acquisition. It compares these findings with the natural development of language in children, emphasizing the lack of evidence supporting ape language capabilities. Additionally, it surveys the communication systems of apes and monkeys, highlighting significant differences that demonstrate language as a uniquely human trait.
