On Dialogue and Consciousness 3. On the Flavors of Consciousness 4. On Language and Apes 5. On Free Will Annex: A Timeline of Ape Language ResearchReviewsThese dialogues provide unique insight into ape language research. Stimulating language in apes is too ramified to be controlled intellectually or restricted to a laboratory. It requires spontaneity, taking participants beyond the known. Even communicating the work requires spontaneity, for the intellect does not know what happened. You will be amazed at what these dialogues reveal about humanness beyond humanity. -Par Segerdahl, Uppsala University Dialogues on the Human Ape demolishes the simple human/animal dichotomy and the idealization that only humans 'have' language, as though language is some kind of all-or-none essence. These compelling conversations between Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and Laurent Dubreuil will open minds and challenge assumptions about what it means to be a human ape. -Terrence W.

Deacon, University of California, Berkeley This book appears in an important series on Post-humanities, so academics and researchers in that field would certainly find much value in this volume as well. The book is intellectually and emotionally engaging, well written, and nicely organized. -ASEBL Journal The book explores the continuities between the ape and human minds, addressing why language matters to consciousness, free will and the formation of the self. -Cornell Chronicle ""These dialogues provide unique insight into ape language research.
