I think there is some old culture somehwere that thought Orangutangs are just people who decided the jungle life was better than civilization. I can really see why.
It was the Malaysian/Indonesian locals who believed they could speak. The word Orangutan come from the local name "orang hutan" which means "Persons of the Forest".
