When: 2002

"Graceful arms and a tiny face peering from a nest signal quiet time for mother Maya and daughter Malia, a well-known pair [of chimps] at Goualougo. Because they seldom travel far, females and their babies are easiest to watch."

Where: Herat, Afghanistan
When: 1933
Photographer: Maynard Owen Williams
“For once the women rides, the man walks: In Asia one often sees the lord of the household mounted and his helpmate not only on foot but carrying a burden—an old custom which proves little but suggests much. At this break in the mid-city covered bazaar of Herat, the reversal of the usual attracts less attention than does a camera.”
