The history of chimps in our society is a history unlike any other. We have sent them into space, dressed them in costumes and demanded that they entertain us. Some have been adopted into human families until they outgrew their cuteness, many have been used to test our drugs or to help develop our vaccines, and others have been infected with out most frightening diseases. While we are mesmerized by their likeness to our species and we have continually found uses for chimps, we never considered what they wanted to needed. But their side of the story is starting to emerge.
