In order to determine if socially deprived chimpanzees could establish an integrated social unit and reproduce, a group of wild-born individuals from a single-cage laboratory environment were released onto a small island in a South Florida tourist park in 1975. The present study was undertaken during June and July of 1988 to evaluate the long term results of the experiment and to document the reproductive history of the chimpanzees since their release on the island. The evidence presented in this paper suggests that it is possible for laboratory chimpanzees to be resocialized and to reproduce successfully.
为了确定社会剥夺的黑猩猩是否能够建立一个整合的社会单元并进行繁殖，1975年，一群来自单笼实验室环境的野生出生个体被放归到南佛罗里达一个旅游公园的小岛上。本研究于1988年6月和7月进行，以评估该实验的长期结果，并记录黑猩猩自放归到岛上后的繁殖历史。本文所提供的证据表明，实验室黑猩猩有可能重新融入社会并成功繁殖。
