When Afia, a newborn Western Lowland Gorilla, is rejected by her mother Kera after a difficult birth, her human keepers start the challenging but rewarding experience of hand-rearing her themselves.

It seems like every time a new mother turns on her computer, radio, or television she is greeted with news of yet another scientific study about infancy.
