Pet Monkey Turns Out to Be New Species

Conservation biologist John Hart didn't set out to bag a monkey unknown to science. He wanted to survey bonobos in the unexplored lowland rainforest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Lomani basin. But a colleague's photograph of an unusual monkey on a bushmeat hunter's canoe changed his mind. Learning that a schoolmaster's daughter living on the edge of the forest had adopted one of the young monkeys as a pet, Hart—with the Lukuru Wildlife Research Foundation in Kinshasa—and colleagues tracked its growth for the next 19 months. They also observed the primate in the wild. Unlike many of its cousins, the monkey, locally known as lesula, spends most of the time foraging quietly on the ground in small groups. Shortly before dawn, they liven up the forest with “boom” calls, but are otherwise hard to detect. On 12 September in PLoS ONE, Hart and his colleagues described Cercopithecus lomamiensis—the second African monkey to be “discovered” in 28 years. They are now monitoring the wild monkeys with camera traps and are working toward making the area a national park.

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
