What I cannot figure out is this:  Given the original writer's history of
arriving at questionable deductions from sparse facts, and announcing the
surmises as fact, *nobody* challenged the truthfulness of the original post,
or the exact sources of facts for such an improbable claim.  The claim was
accepted at face value and the only question was about the next generation.
Frankly, IMO, It's a good kids story
http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p1204.htm, but any conclusions about abnormal
physical development are very doubtful.

FWIW, my son climbs ordinary brick walls with his bare hands and feet,
and -- much to the amazement of locals -- did the Sugarloaf without
equipment.  AFAIK, he does not hang, and never has hung out with monkeys
and, although he has long, strong, fingers and toes, I doubt it is from
climbing.   His kids, moreover, do not have long prehensile tails.  I've
checked.

Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what
they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.
