innateness/uniqueness

[patricia kilroe]

While this topic is receiving so much attention on this list, I was wondering
if those familiar with Sue Savage-Rumbaugh's work with bonobos, esp. the
apparent fact that these apes can comprehend and execute fairly complex
spoken commands upon first hearing, could comment on the biology of language
question from the perspective of what SS-R's findings contribute to it.
