Professor Nathaniel Dominy is traveling down under for his research involving sharks and Aboriginal rattles.

Research by Professor Nathaniel Dominy shows fruit shortages in the Bornean forest have left orangutans protein deprived and wasting away.

Studying how the orangutans cope with a harsh environment may offer a glimpse into what early human ancestors faced, says Professor Nathaniel Dominy.
