Peter Walter's documentary Riel. The Malay Word Arang Aton means old man of the forest, these longhaired oranges primates found only in Sumatra and Borneo. Ah, highly intelligent Onda close relatives of humans. Orangutans have an enormous arm span. When they do stand, their hands nearly touched the ground. Arang attends a more solitary than other apes. Males are loners. As they moved through the forest, they make plenty of rumbling, howling calls to ensure that they stay out of each other's way. The long call could be heard 1.2 miles away. Among the customs and ceremonies that characterised the English calender. Wassailing is one able to lay claim to great antiquity. Although formal records suggest its first emergence during mediaeval times, shadowy literary references indicate the possibility of much earlier origins.

Now we can fill our cosmic calendar with all the events that have ever occurred in the universe's life span. We start at midnight, the first of January, the moment of creation. But where does humanity lie on this calendar? Late January, Galaxies have only barely formed by then. What about March? Our own Milky Way galaxy is only just starting to take shape. We're way off yet give it more time. How about May? The solar system won't exist until the second of September, and the Earth won't form a single rock until four days later. For almost a whole year on our calendar, for billions of condensed years and empty millennia, there is simply a chaotic swirl of gas, rock and silence. Man doesn't take his first step until the 31st of December at 14 24 around three million years after lunch, and in that final nine hours and 36 minutes, up until just before midnight on the last day, man struggles on discovering fire, cultivating the land building empires on conquering our newly born world
