SOLVED. YA fiction. Anthropomorphized apes/ monkeys escape from research setting. Read 1976-1977.

[Karen]

I read this book in an advance reader's copy in a YA course in library school at the U. of N. Carolina, 1976/77. It was about (anthropomorphized) apes or monkeys in captivity in a research setting who began to learn about the outside world and to escape or try to escape. Very, very good book.

Glad you found your book, Karen. I edited the header/ topic title. Ideally, it includes a specific genre (e.g., YA science fiction, adult thriller).
