Carel Van Schaik is an anthropologist at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. His book is called "Among Orangutans." He tells Steve Paulson that these great red apes use tools and pass learning down from one generation to the next. And that captive apes can learn all sorts of skills that are useless in the wild.
