People have always wondered if apes are as smart as us. For a long time no one knew and we started to think that it wasn't possible, but two scientists came up with an experiment to see how human can a chimp can get. what they did was to get a baby chimp and raise it as a human. after a short time, Lucy the chimp could sit at the table and eat like a human, she soon began to do sign language. After a ten years Lucy was to strong and to wild for the scientists. With that, they brought her to Africa were she was thought to be like a chimp. It was a big struggle but soon learned but got killed by poachers years after.
This was a interesting and touching story. It was amazing what a ape is capable of. What I thought that Lucy taught us was that they are smarter than we thought. They have emotions and the ability to speak. What she taught s about being human is that we are not the only ones that can learn like this. We can be very impacting on other living things around us. I have a totally different perspective on chimps after this story. They are so much smarter than I thought and they have so much more to them then I taught. I think the scientist Termerlin's experiment was worthwhile because he got to actually see if chimps are capable of. He got to see how a chimp learns and what is the effect of it. Lucy's end made me feel sad. After all she went through and what she did, it really sucked that her end came to that.
