• Lucy’s life was similar to humans in a lot of ways. The Temerlin raise Lucy in a home and give her the freedom to have her own face. Lucy was taught to match shapes and would often color. She had the ability to draw pictures like a regular child, also the ability to learn and memorize sign language. Lucy knew how to greet individuals with hugs and kisses. Lucy had learn how to respond to re- socialization in terms of learning new behaviors and attitudes that are different from those previously held. As she got older she was much stronger and got very destructive so the Temerlin family had no choice but to send her back the natural habitat. As time process we knew that Lucy would not be able to stay in a home, that is why she was send to Africa. Lucy was very depress over the move, because she was not use to that life style, in the open looking for food. She was so used to being with one set of family which made her aware of herself within that group. After a period of time after she was send to Namibia Lucy got really sick and depress. She was losing hair and would not eat for days. Janis her caretaker went back and upon her arrival she saw Lucy skeleton remains. She was shock and came to the conclusion that because Lucy was so friendly, that maybe someone saw her and Lucy approach him and the took advantage of the situation.

• Lucy was a chipanzee who was raise by Maurice Temerlin and his wife Jane Termerlin. The took care of Lucy as if she was there own child, she was taught to eat with sliverware, dress herself and sit in chairs at the dinner table.The Temerlin paid for Lucy to learn American sign language and eventually learn over a hundred and forty signs. Lucy was raise as a infant who learn to do new things as she got older. The first time Lucy was introduce to a male chipanzee she was not execited and did not relate to him. She would greet her sign language teacher with hugs and kisses and even to the extend make them tea. The Temerlin had raise Lucy as there child because the had none of there own, Lucy was well aware how to interact with humans. She was aware of her self as part of the Temerlin family, because she was able to communicate with others and learn what kind of behaviour is expected from her. Lucy was able to change her behavioral patterns for a new situation, this is a form of secondary socialization. time she was 12, Lucy had become very strong and was very destructive in the Temerlin house. Eventually, she was shipped to a chimpanzee rehabilitation center in Gambia, accompanied by University of Oklahoma psychology graduate student Janis Carter.[4] For years, Lucy was unable to relate to the other chimps in the rehabilitation center, and never reproduced, displaying sexual attraction only to humans. Lucy showed many signs of depression, including refusal to eat, and expressed "hurt" via sign-language. Though her adopted Temerlin parents stayed with Lucy for only a few weeks in Gambia, Janis Carter remained at the Center for years, devoting much of her life to helping Lucy assimilate to life in the wild. Lucy was unable to adopt to the life of a real chipanzee. Eventually Janis would have try to help Lucy but Lucy show more and more signs of depression.She had manage to leave the island and had left behind Lucy. She has came back to check on Lucy after a year Lucy and a group of chimps greeted her, and Lucy embraced her, and then left with the other chimps without turning back, which Janis interpreted as Lucy having assimilated to life as a chimpanzee. One year after that, Carter returned and found Lucy's skeleton with hands missing and head separated from the rest of the body, and no sign of skin or hair, from which Carter concluded that Lucy had been poached
