How are they able to distinguish between interpreting context and anthropomorphizing? Genuinely curious, I know so little about animal studies in general.

For one independent people who were fluent in sign language couldn't interpret it but her trainers could. That strongly points to not actually knowing sign language. My dog makes a specific growl when she wants out. But I don't claim she speaks Latin because of it.

Judging animal intelligence on a human vocabulary scale is a scam. The dolphins were a scam. The gorilla and chimps were a scam. The parrots are not a scam and are genuinely assholes.

Yeah, that’s kinda my point, I’m familiar with studies that use way more invasive ways to interpret animal cognition with such detail and accuracy, i.e. MRIs/EEGs/etc, but obviously Koko wasn’t constantly hooked up to those, so I was curious whether the researchers can advance a more objective argument than “looks right to us!”

Joey was pure lank, just the tallest skinniest motherfucker, but there's also some perspective fuckery here. I think Dee Dee and Johnny were pretty close in height.

edit looks like Dee Dee was shorter than Johnny, check their first album cover. Hard to tell but I think Tommy might be standing on his tip toes on the first album cover

I've heard it said that Joey had Marfan syndrome, which tends to give people a tall, gaunt, long limbed appearance, though this isn't mentioned in his Wikipedia entry. He was 6'6", while Dee Dee and Johnny were 5' something.

She doesn't need that to communicate with her trainers, but the ability to combine words and clauses to form more complicated sentences is one of the big things that people think separates human language from animal communication. If someone wants to argue that apes have the capability for language in the same sense that we do, that's one of the big things they need to demonstrate.

Oh yup, that's sort of what I was getting at. Many animals are more conscious, and more capable of communication, than we typically give credit.

Grammar is very probably a left-hemisphere human thing and sort of parasitical to communication.

I've never been to Paris so I'm not sure exactly how it smells, but my impression is that it's not good. I was really tempted to buy dollar store hand sanitizer so I could smell like Paris at home.

This is one of my favourite Bowie songs and I can't believe I never clocked it was written for a film.

"That night, a prostitute named Ruthie walks into a fleabag motel to meet a john, but instead finds a melanistic leopard that mauls her foot." - Wikipedia plot summary

I must watch this film.

Went to Paris. Heard "rude to Americans" Learned some french, used Google translate. Everyone was loving awesome. Greatest croissants ever. Best wine. Loved every second.

Whole city smelled like piss and cigarettes.
