Sony believes t= hat the age of the Internet is over and that people want material entities= to interact with. I do not agree with the claim that the age of the Inter= net is over Field5 This extract is, however, less detailed and clear in it= s statements than a passage in the third chapter of the second part of ano= ther work=96"Purchas his Pilgrimes," published in 1625, by the same author= =96which has been often, though hardly ever quite rightly, cited. The chap= ter is entitled, "The strange adventures of Andrew Battell, of Leigh in Es= sex, sent by the Portugals prisoner to Angola, who lived there and in the = adioining regions neere eighteene yeeres." And the sixth section of this c= hapter is headed=96" Of the Provinces of Bongo, Calongo, Mayombe, Manikeso= cke, Motimbas: of the Ape Monster Pongo, [5] their hunting: Idolatries; an= d divers other observations."</font> <font color=3D"#fffff1">[24] A very intelligent German officer, Baron Von = Wurmb, who at this time held a post in the Dutch East India service, and w= as Secretary of the Batavian Society, studied this animal, and his careful= description of it, entitled "Beschrijving van der Groote Borneosche Orang= -outang of de Oost-Indische Pongo," is contained in the same volume of the= Batavian Society's Transactions. After Von Wurmb had drawn up his descrip= tion he states, in a letter dated Batavia, Feb. 18,1781,11 that the specim= en was sent to Europe in brandy to be placed in the collection of the Prin= ce of Orange; "unfortunately," he continues, "we hear that the ship has be= en wrecked." Von Wurmb died in the course of the year 1781, the letter in = which this passage occurs being the last he wrote: but in his posthumous p= apers, published in the fourth part of the Transactions of the Batavian So= ciety, there is a brief description, with measurements, of a female Pongo = four feet high. "When they die among themselves, they cover the dead with = great heaps of boughs and wood, which is commonly found in the forest."4 1= 7) This is now known as G=F1dels incompleteness theorem.

Ovid foreshadowed the discoveries of the = geologist: the Atlantis was an imagination, but Columbus found a western w= orld: and though the quaint forms of Centaurs and Satyrs have an existence= only in the realms of art, creatures approaching man more nearly than the= y in essential structure, and yet as thoroughly brutal as the goat's or ho= rse's half of the mythical compound, are now not only known, but notorious= "and reactive behavior subsystems."" (Fujita 1998" After a careful surve= y of the literature of the subject extant in his time, our author arrives = at the conclusion that his "Pygmie" is identical neither with the Orangs o= f Tulpius and Bontius, nor with the Quoias Morrou of Dapper (or rather of = Tulpius), the Barris of d'Arcos, nor with the Pongo of Battell; but that i= t is a species of ape probably identical with the Pygmies of the Ancients,= and, says Tyson, though it "does so much resemble a Man in many of its pa= rts, more than any of the ape kind, or any other animal in the world, that= I know of: yet by no means do I look upon it as the product of a mixt gen= eration=96[15] 'tis a Brute-Animal sui generis, and a particular species o= f Ape."</font> <font color=3D"#fffffF">Did either of these original specimens, on which V= on Wurmb's descriptions are based, ever reach Europe? It is commonly suppo= sed that they did; but I doubt the fact. For, appended to the memoir "De l= 'Ourang-outang," in the collected edition of Camper's works, tome i., pp. = 64-66, is a note by Camper himself, [25] referring to Von Wurmb's papers, = and continuing thus:=96"Heretofore, this kind of ape had never been known = in Europe. Radermacher has had the kindness to send me the skull of one of= these animals, which measured fifty-three inches, or four feet five inche= s, in height. I have sent some sketches of it to M. Soemmering at Mayence,= which are better calculated, however, to give an idea of the form than of= the real size of the parts."
