In a beautifully written, compelling narrative that reads like a detective story, [van Schaik] weaves together several threads of evidence to argue
that orangutan intelligence is intimately related to technological innovations that are passed down through social learning...Through the large number
of outstanding color photographs, we meet many of the 100 orangutans his team recognized individually. They are handsome creatures with long red hair,
expressive faces and round eyes that gaze out of the photographs with keen awareness.--Barbara Smuts"Scientific American" (12/01/2004)
