Roger Fouts Quotes

• If you try to impose a rigid discipline while teaching a child or a chimp you are working against the boundless curiosity and need for relaxed play that make learning possible in the first place... learning cannot be controlled; it is out of control by design. Learning emerges spontaneously, it proceeds in an individualistic and unpredictable way, and it achieves its goal in its own good time. Once triggered, learning will not stop--unless it is hijacked by conditioning.

• El hecho de que todos nuestros primos simios -chimpancés, gorilas y orangutanes- puedan adquirir signos es una prueba contundente de que el primer lenguaje de nuestros antepasados homínidos fue gestual y que la versión vocal del lenguaje fue un desarrollo relativamente reciente. Yo creo que el lenguaje vocal empezó a surgir hace unos 200.000 años.

• Growing up on a farm taught me a reverence for all forms of life. We were a large and poor farm family, so that meant that we had to kill and eat our animal friends. When you do that you are aware of the sacrifice that someone is making so that you may live. My mother always made sure we were thankful for those precious gifts.

• With regard to the alternatives, we already have them. The cellular and genetic lines of research in humans are the most promising. AIDS is caused by a virus, so it makes sense to study the virus, not chimpanzees. We have learned virtually nothing about AIDS from the chimpanzee. Every major advance in AIDS research ... has come from human studies.
