Freewrite Prompt: Primate

in #freewrite5 years ago

Some people say that we humans may have evolved from the primates and that they are our ancestors. Film and stories like Tarzan may make us believe it even more.

I have all respect for the evolution theory by Charles Darwin but I personally do not subscribed to it as I believe in the creation of God, that each and everyone of us are purposefully and delicately made and planned in the eyes of God. Interestingly I read an article about him renouncing the theory he proposed much earlier in his death bed. You may read more about it here, if you are interested.

But then again, I love the primates, especially the Orang Utan. It is my husband's favorite animal and I have since learnt more about it too. We have quite a lot of it here in Malaysia, especially in the place I was born and raised, Sarawak. We have forest reserve for their habitats and there are various organization protecting this species, now that it is quite endangered. Do you know, that their arms stretched out are longer than their bodies? It enables them to have super strong grip when they hold their body weight on the branches of the trees. They like to eat soap and their stomach can take it, haha. They have thumbs like us and they point inwards too, unlike the other fingers. The females like the huge cheek pads on the male, thinking they are attractive. It is said that they have 97% similarity in their genetic information with humans but to me, that doesn't speak about us evolving from them. Don't get me wrong, still loving them.

When my son was turning 3, we went to the zoo today check our the orang Utan but only to find it really miserable and it looked like it was constantly trying to escape. That was really pitiful and it was all alone. I couldn't bear but feeling guilty for going there because it was trapped there for visitors like us. It makes me contemplate twice about seeing animal exhibits these days.

One of the most prominent Orang Utans I can remember is the one from the movie Caesar. I love her character being portrayed as someone really smart. Orang Utan simply means humans of the forest in Malay, my native language of the country.
