Extraordinary video footage shows how two scientist parents attempted to raise their infant son alongside a chimpanzee as part of a bizarre nature versus nurture experiment in 1931.
Psychologists Winthrop and Luella Kellogg conducted the study on their ten-month-old son Donald and a seven-month-old chimp called Gua at their Florida home.
The couple were attempting to establish if it was possible to educate an ape and teach them to communicate as a human.

Donald took to walking around on all fours, dragging his knuckles like an ape.
He would often start biting people when he became aggressive and he and Gua shared a secret language of bark-like noises that they would use to communicate.
Donald began to lag behind his peers in terms of development, and often chose to shun other children in favor of playing with Gua.
All the while, Gua was growing in strength and becoming more and more unpredictable.
Eventually, the couple became so concerned by Donald's behavior and the potential for Gua to lash out that they opted to end the experiment early.

[What morons.
Considering what chimps have been known to do to people they turn on, they are fortunate that their son was not attacked and either disfigured or killed by the animal.
For some reason, I have ALWAYS hated primates.]
No, we are humans. Depends on the evolutionary nomenclature.
reading is fundamental
lot of sick people in the world
Dorm room bull sessions should not be implemented in real life
I can’t believe what I just read.
Not saying anything.......
However, I think it has something to do with things that look close to human but aren’t. I have ALWAYS hated clowns as well, and to this day cannot stand mime or heavy theatrical makeup.
And don’t get me started on drag queens......
The “scientist” parents tortured the boy and the chimp for their cruel experiment.
The episode proves that delusional thoughts do not override reality - something the trans crowd needs to be taught.
No doubt.
Animals are animals & always need to be handled as such. Even my very sweet kitties can do damage on occasion. You can’t explain the necessity of things you need to do now & then. And a chimpanzee has really extraordinary strength.
“Putting a human child with an animal doesn’t make the animal more human, it makes the human more like an animal.”
Similar to importing no shortage of Islamics.
[I’ve heard the term *college educated idiots* many times.]
Even humans cannot be trusted to not be dangerous or destructive.
Most people dislike clowns after the age of six..................
True, true!
At least the had the wherewithal to see what was happening and not continue the experiment.
A real estate agent could have predicted the results.
...and now you know the origin of the real estate phrase “location, location, location”
This concludes this public service announcement
...that is all
Leave the poor Donald alone. He is a child who identifies as an ape.
Donald should be prepped for transition surgery and have hair grafts over his entire body.
As a matter of fact, we have thousands of furries who are on the same path of transitioning from human to animal.

Really.What has happened to our culture? YOu can’t make this sh*t up.
not very wise nor educated “scientists”. even a common person would know the animal would grow stronger than the kid, or adults. hope the kid can recover and gets with wiser, truly loving, people in his life.
just saw comment the kid grew up and took his life. I shoulda read more before I wrote.
