天才黑猩猩Ai在日本去世,享年49岁

Ai是京都大学研究中著名的“天才”黑猩猩,已于49岁去世。她以能识别超过100个汉字、英文字母、数字和颜色而闻名,推动了灵长类智力研究。死因系多器官衰竭及年龄相关疾病。

Ai的名字在日语中意为“爱”,是一只来自西非的黑猩猩。她于1977年抵达京都大学,参与了感知、学习和记忆方面的研究。这些工作加深了对灵长类智力的理解,并为探索人类心智进化提供了关键基础,京都大学人类行为进化起源中心表示。中心指出,Ai好奇心极强,积极参与研究,首次揭示了黑猩猩心灵的诸多方面。2014年,灵长类学家松泽哲郎描述了Ai在电脑屏幕上看到“粉”字以及粉色和紫色方块时,正确选择了粉色方块的情景。当展示一个苹果时,她在屏幕上选择了矩形、圆形和点,绘制了一个“虚拟苹果”。除了汉字和英文字母,Ai还能识别0至9的阿拉伯数字和11种颜色。她非凡的能力使其成为众多学术论文的对象,包括《自然》杂志,以及媒体节目,在大众媒体中获“天才”绰号。2000年,她生下儿子Ayumu,其技能引发了亲子知识传递研究的关注,共同社报道。Ai于周五因多器官衰竭及年龄相关疾病去世。研究人员赞扬其贡献,京都大学表示,她的工作建立了理解黑猩猩心灵的实验框架。

Researchers at the University of Geneva have found that specific regions of the human auditory cortex respond particularly strongly to chimpanzee vocalizations compared with those of other primates, including bonobos and macaques. The work, published as a reviewed preprint in eLife, suggests that human brain areas involved in voice processing are also tuned to certain nonhuman primate calls, reflecting shared evolutionary and acoustic roots.

A bonobo named Kanzi has demonstrated the ability to engage in make-believe play, a cognitive skill previously unseen in non-human primates. In experiments conducted shortly before his death, Kanzi participated in a pretend tea party involving imaginary juice and grapes. The findings suggest that our closest primate relatives possess the capacity for imagination.
