The sad, sad story of Nim Chimpsky, the chimp raised as a child in the hope of teaching him sign language. This highlights human arrogance...really cruelty...in the name of science. All the teachers and carers seem to have had kindly motives and genuinely loved Nim but the psychologist, whose experiment this was, came across as cold, insensitive and hungry for glory...regardless of the cost to anyone or anything.
Hubris and ambition run wild. Shame...
