We've been observing gorillas for 10 years here, and we have two cases of them using detached objects as tools.

What really lies beneath our feet at each moment is not a usefulness, but an inaccessible netherworld that we can use because it is there. It is the Empire of the Capital X.

Everybody wears a visible harness. There are visible ropes all over the stage, both for gorillas and for Tarzan — and you see them literally clip in and harness up. It's part of the language of the piece.

This is a truly astounding discovery.

These protected areas are not only important for the conservation of species they contain, they also hold the key to comparing our own development as a species with our next of kin.

I feel like the writer observing the grief, but it is difficult to be detached from it.
