Write a 2-page response paper to the film. You should read
the Chapter on Primate Behavior, before you watch the film. Some
questions to consider in your paper:
What do you think about the methods used by the researchers in the film? Do you think they were valid?
Consider Koko’s upbringing with her researcher Penny. Do you think
Koko should have stayed in the San Francisco Zoo, gone to a sanctuary,
or stayed with Penny? Why? Feel free to cite examples from the film and
discuss those. Also think about what zoos and wildlife preserves were
like at that time and how they are today.
Do you think that language studies conducted by researchers are
important to human evolutionary studies? Do you think that the Koko
study has been an asset to scientific studies?
In addition to considering some of the questions above, you can also
include your personal opinions and feelings regarding the film and the
subjects depicted in it. You can also include information from your
textbook.
Please use proper formatting and type your
paper in double-spaced, 12-point font (Arial or Times New Roman), and
1″ margins.
