The chimp who thought he was a boy
Raised like a son by a New York City family as part of a language experiment, Nim Chimpsky was shipped away when funds ran out. A new biography tells Nim's story.
By Chris Colin [2008-03-31]

  • A sad tale

    I met Nim while I was an undergraduate at Columbia. They were feeding him on the campus. Being told his name, I thought "oh, how clever." I am saddened to hear of his last days - I look forward to reading the book.
