Abstract
- The author discusses various issues involving monkeys. Topics discussed include the way art critic John Berger likened a theater to the monkey house he visited at a zoo in Basel, Switzerland, the humanlike characteristics of the wild apes encountered by Dutch physician Jacobus Bontius in Java, Indonesia in the 1600s, and the experiments conducted by naturalist Charles Darwin on an orangutan named Jenny while in captivity in London Zoo in England.
