First, start the experiment.
1976, some scientists put forward the view that orangutans can live in this world like humans through acquired learning. So, American scientist Lynn Marx conducted this experiment. His research topic is about human innate and acquired behavior. At first, Lynn wanted to do experiments on human children, but this was unrealistic, because in real life, no parents wanted their children to be taken to do experiments at birth. Even if you want to do experiments on babies, you must pay a very high price. Finally, Lynn had to step back and choose a young orangutan. In people's minds, orangutans have always been a very human-like animal. So scientist Lynn discovered a young orangutan and named it Shatek.
Second, educate orangutans.
When Xia was born, she was not breastfed by her mother. To this end, Lin chose to feed Xia with human feeding methods. In fact, this is exactly what Lynn wants. He wants to treat summer with human food. In the process of growing up, Lynn always treats Satek with reference to the way humans raise children. The only difference is that Shatek can't communicate with words, but only through his own gestures. When Xia reached a certain age, Lin brought Xia to his college class. Shatek is also very excited in class. He attends classes normally like a human being. In the classroom, Shatek has always been able to bring different surprises to everyone, and it is precisely because of such a special environment that Shatek's communication, socialization and learning have been rapidly improved.
Third, the experiment failed.
After graduating from Shatek, Lynn wants to teach Shatek to integrate into human society. Lynn taught Satek to spend money on ice cream, and even told Satek that he could work to earn money and buy his own ice cream. At that time, the IQ level of Shatek was equivalent to that of a 7-year-old child. However, an accident happened in the process of Shatek's integration into society, and he was eventually imprisoned by the zoo, so Lynn's research had to be terminated. Shatek, who lives in the zoo, can't communicate with his companions because of human training and knowledge, and he doesn't know how to communicate with his companions. Before long, Shatek suffered from depression and heart disease. After more than ten years in prison, Xia gestured when he saw the administrators, indicating that he wanted to buy ice cream with the money he earned. Those administrators ignored his request. Xia died on August 7, 20 17.
Conclusion: Even though gorillas have received the same education as human beings since childhood, they still can't reach the cognitive level of human beings and it is difficult for them to develop like human beings in a short time.
