Hunting the Gugu by Benedict Allen

The author travelled to Malaysia, Indonesia and Sumatra to find out what lay behind the legends of Sumatra's lost ape-men. In this light-hearted travel book he speculates on the origins of the human race and describes his adventures and encounters with tribal people. Benedict Allen has also written "Mad White Giant" and "Into the Crocodile Nest".
Benedict Allen has a voracious appetite for adventure. Traveler, modern-day explorer, a sensitive sociologist, he lives for months on end with only the assistance of remote, indigenous 'tribal' people to guide him. Pioneering the use of a hand-held TV camera, he has filmed his own expeditions for the BBC series, Witchdoctors. His book, The Last of the Medicine Men, published in the US by Dorling Kindersley, accompanies that series. Allen is the author of several other books resulting from his adventures in the Amazon, New Guinea, Australia's Gibson Desert, and Sumatra, among them the best-selling Skeleton Coast: A Journey Through the Namib Desert and Edge of Blue Heaven: A Journey Through Mongolia.
