Kanzi, a bonobo with extraordinary capacity for symbolic communication, acquired language not by rote teaching, but by immersion in a complex Pan-Homo language culture. Kanzi and his bonobo-human family point toward a larger concept of the eco-family and our evolutionary/ecological kinship with Great Apes. Theological primatology is Christian reflection on the meaning of being human and primate in our creative relationship with God.
