Radiolab: "Lucy"

Sun.4/11: Chimps. Bonobos. Humans. We're all great apes - but can we live together? Find out what happened when a chimp named Lucy was adopted by a human family.

Our main story is the haunting tale of a chimp named Lucy. When Lucy was only two days old she was adopted by a psychologist and his wife who wondered: if given the right environment, how human could Lucy become? This story and other tales of radical sharing between humans and the creatures on earth most like us.
