abstract:Abang is an Orangutan taught to make stone tools, as a part of a research experiment to determine if this ability is a characteristic unique to humans, the genus Homo, or to the family Hominidae.
Once or twice a week, Sukemi struggles aboard an overloaded bus (the family's decrepit minivan is too expensive to keep on the road) and she heads into Tanah Abang textile market, where she can purchase her materials more cheaply.
