[QUOTE]Despite Brian’s current success with sign language, researchers told reporters the 180-pound gorilla-suit-wearing man struggled in his early lessons, and was often unable to use his shaggy, glove-covered fingers to form even basic vocabulary words.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]“Essentially, we can now say that gorilla-suit-wearing humans are far smarter and more capable than anyone could have previously anticipated,” said Princeton University primatologist Jeffrey Harding. “Hopefully, our research on a specimen like Brian will change the general public's preconceived notions and society will eventually learn to look beyond these creatures’ cheap metal zippers and realize that they are actually quite similar to you or me.”[/QUOTE]
