Do monkeys talk? Richard Garner thought so, and set out with early recording equipment to catch and decode their calls, convinced each sound carried meaning. His experiments, part science and part bold guesswork, opened one of the first serious inquiries into animal language. Read the pioneering, sometimes eccentric case that monkeys have a vocabulary of their own.
