Chimpanzees of the Lakeshore: Chimpanzees are humanity's closest living relations and are of enduring interest to a range of sciences, from anthropology to zoology. In the West, many know of the pioneering work of Jane Goodall, whose studies of these apes at Gombe in Tanzania are justly famous. Less well-known, but equally important, are the studies carried out by Toshisada Nishida on the eastern shore Chimpanzees are humanity's closest living relations and are of enduring interest to a range of sciences, from anthropology to zoology.
Less well-known, but equally important, are the studies carried out by Toshisada Nishida on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. Comparison between the two sites yields both notable similarities and startling contrasts.

And on the show today, ideas about hacking the law to better serve everyone.
And for animal rights lawyer Steven Wise, that means changing laws to better serve non-human animals, like apes. I'd like to have you look at this pencil. It's a legal thing. And so are books you might have or the cars you own.

One of them, Justice Barbara Jaffe, in , became the first judge in legal history to actually issue a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of a nonhuman animal, on behalf of Hercules and Leo.

They're all legal things. The great apes that you'll see behind me, they too are legal things. Now, I can - I can do that to a legal thing. I can do whatever I want to my book or my car.
They are legal things. Well, since Roman times, a thing has been an entity who lacks the capacity for legal rights. It can be a pencil. It can be a computer. It can be a human being at the time of slavery. But a person is an entity who has the capacity for one or more legal rights. At one time, it was defined in a very narrow way. Or actually freemen or persons.
But slaves were not. Sometimes women were not.
Sometimes children were not. Now all human beings are considered to be persons.
So a thing does not have legal rights, right? And a person does.
And basically, now, all humans are legal persons. But I guess it's more complicated than that - right? So a person and thing are both terms of art.
And that's up to legislatures in courts as to what or who those entities are. So, for example, in the last few years, the New Zealand Parliament has designated a river as a person who has a real legal rights. A national park has real legal rights. The Colombia Supreme Court has said that the Amazon rainforest in the country of Colombia is a person who has real legal rights. And Steven Wise sees these recent changes as positive steps toward broadening the definition of legal persons to include animals.
And it's a cause he's been dedicated to for nearly 40 years, ever since he read the book "Animal Liberation" by Peter Singer.
Now, I read Peter Singer's book in , when I had a full head of lush, brown hair. And indeed, I was moved by it because I had become a lawyer because I wanted to speak for the voiceless, defend the defenseless. And I'd never realized how voiceless and defenseless the billions of non-human animals are. And I began to work as an animal protection lawyer. And by , I realized that I was trying to accomplish something that was literally impossible.
The reason being that all of my clients, all the animals whose interest I was trying to defend, were legal things. It was not going to work. So I decided that the only thing that was going to work was they had - at least some of them had also become legal persons. Now, at that time, there was very little known about or spoken about truly animal rights about the idea of having a legal person or legal rights for a non-human animal.
