CBPF.; "This is one of a series of five films which present comparisons of a normal human infant and his chimpanzee companion who were reared together in a strictly human environment for a period of 9 months. Both were given comparable treatment, being fed, dressed, punished, and spoken to like children of the same family. Throughout the 9 months various tests and comparisons were made, as well as general observations. In this film we see comparisons of the two subjects during the last 3 months of the investigation"--introductory title to film.
