The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI) is located on the campus of Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. CHCI included a sanctuary for chimpanzees who have learned to communicate with humans and each other using American Sign Language. CHCI's director is Mary Lee Jensvold. It was founded by former co-directors Roger Fouts and Deborah Fouts. ==Formerly resident chimpanzees== *Washoe, 1966-30 October 2007. Washoe was the first non-human primate to learn some rudimentary forms of ASL, a true human language. *Loulis, 1978 - (moved out in 2013). Loulis is Washoe's adopted son and was the subject of a project that examined whether he would learn sign language from other chimpanzees. The complete research was not published in a peer-reviewed journal, but can be found in a book published in 1989 entitled ''"Teaching Sign Language to Chimpanzees"'' edited by Allen and Beatrix Gardner. * Tatu, 1975 - (moved out in 2013) * Dar, 1976 - 2012〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cwu.edu/cwu-chimpanzee-dar-dies-36 )〕 * Moja, 1972 - 2002 Loulis and Tatu, the remaining two chimpanzees in the CHCI after the natural death of Washoe and Dar, moved to their new home at the Fauna Foundation in Quebec in late August 2013,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cwu.edu/cwu-chimpanzees-arrive-safely-canadian-sanctuary )〕 where they will be integrated into an existing group of eleven chimpanzees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
