Supinah sauntered toward an ashy fire pit, picked up a stick glowing with embers, and dipped it into a nearby cup full of liquid. Russon thought that the cup contained water, but it in fact held kerosene. Fortunately, that bath did little more than dampen the wood. Yet Supinah persisted: she got a second glowing stick, blew on it, fanned it with her hands, and rubbed it against other sticks. She never got the right steps in the right order to start a fire, but what foiled her was not her innate intelligence. She had a clear goal in mind and the right kind of brain to achieve it. She just needed a little more practice.<\/p>\n<p><em>This excerpt from an article appeared in and is courtesy of The New Yorker.\u00a0 To read the entire story please click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/tech\/elements\/orangutan-learns-fish\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4430\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4430\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangutan.com\/projects\/mawas\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4430\" src=\"https:\/\/orangutan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Anne-photo-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Orangutan Conservancy's Dr. Anne Russon shown here at her current research effort - the Orangutan Kutai Project\" width=\"300\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangutan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Anne-photo-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/orangutan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Anne-photo.jpg 489w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Orangutan Conservancy&#8217;s Dr. Anne Russon shown here at her current research effort &#8211; the Orangutan Kutai Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Orangutan Learns to Fish by\u00a0Ferris Jabr\u00a0for The New Yorker In 1990, while visiting a research camp in central Borneo, the primatologist Anne Russon saw an orangutan nicknamed Supinah attempt to make fire.
