Smart chimp artificially inseminated

  • 05/07/1998

A group led by Tetsuro Matsuzawa of Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute has artificially inseminated the 21 year old chimpanzee Ai, known for her ability to recognize colors, numbers and Chinese characters. Ai's insemination is part of a long term study of the ways Chimpanzees pass on knowledge to their offspring.
