"One of the earliest experiments in primate-human similarities took place all the way back in the 1930s, when a baby chimp and a male baby human were raised in the same house. Shockingly, it didn't turn out well.
Niles Kellogg and his wife had
- a 10 months old son, Donald,
- and a seven-month-old chimpanzee "daughter" Gua.
Gua
Gua the chimp developed, physically, a great deal faster than Donald did. Gua imitated adult behaviors, wearing shoes, opening doors using the door handle, and feeding herself with a glass and a spoon. The chimp also outperformed the human when it came to physical tests
Donald
What really worried the Kelloggs was that Donald the male human lagged behind other babies when it came to speech. Eventually, he started imitating the instinctive hunger barks that Gua made."
