The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
148
It
is
my
purpose,
on
my
return
from
Africa,
to
set
on
foot
a
series
of
such
experiments,
with
the
hope
of
ascertaining
the
facts
connected
therewith.
And
while
in
Africa
I
shall
aim
to
make
such
records
of
the
natives
as
to
ascertain
whether
their
speech
conforms
to
the
same
laws
of
development
or
not.
It
is
my
earnest
hope
to
be
able
to
do
the
same
thing
with
the
great
apes
which
I
am
going
chiefly
to
study.
I
think
if
I
can
record
on
a
phonograph
cylinder
the
sounds
uttered
by
a
young
chimpanzee
under
certain
conditions
once
each
day
for
a
year
or
so,
I
can
determine
whether
there
is
a
like
growth
in
their
speech,
and
to
what
extent
the
same
laws
control
it.
I
have
already
observed
that
the
quality
of
voice
in
a
given
species
of
monkey
changes
with
his
age
very
much
in
the
same
manner
as
the
human
voice;
but
I
have
not
been
able
to
follow
the
changes
through
one
individual
specimen
by
which
to
ascertain
the
exact
manner
of
such
change.
