Yong also elaborated on the Great Ape Project, an association established to gain a basic set of rights for chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, and orangutans. Furthermore, he asserted that there are studies and data proving that animals are capable of experiencing pain and other emotions, and therefore, it is only logic to give them the treatment they deserve. In addition, some animals, particularly primates, are genetically linked with humans; in that sense, it is undeniable that they should be allowed to share the basic rights that humans…

    Non-human primates may not have as complex of a language system as humans do, but there is evidence that they have complex communication systems that could be considered simple language systems; but equally fascinating is that some non-human primates can be taught new and simple language systems outside of their normal systems. The idea is that language develops when there is a benefit to the animal. Innate language amongst the groupings and other groupings in the same area is in order to communicate for survival; mating calls, warning calls, and so on. The learned language systems are a response in order to receive rewards or to get the attention of humans in order to benefit the non-human primate in one way or another; sounds to grab attention…
