When he came to the teenage period, he should have noticed that one day his face began to cover with hair. So, if he was so eager to resemble his simian congeners, - and here is my question - where is his beard?... Why would he want to shave it? <br /> <br />(I won't even ask, how come that he knew -without anybody around there who could actually set examples for him- how to articulate his mouth and everything inside it, to reproduce English sounds.......and he knew how his name would sound in human language......-while I don't think it's the same in gorillas' language.
