"LESO" IN MANDAILING

By Askolani Nasution

Nature is a miracle, the mystery of destiny. And the past was not only memorable, but it may also immortality. 

Mandailaing-Natal regionis full of mystery. There are several flora and fauna that were missing the last hundred years, but it was found in this region. And I think most phenomenal creature that traditional community we are called "Leso." Stature between 60-130 cm, height 3-4 year olds, shoulder length hair, legs inverted, residing in branch wood, and relatively hairless body. He is believed to inhabit forests throughout Sumatra, would also all around us. Marcopolo (1292) mentioned in the note travels in Sumatra. Dozens of expeditions sent from the Western hemisphere. One of the expedition of Mr. Van Heerwarden (1923) in Kerinci that publish short encounter with the creature. There are also expeditions Debbie Martyr and Jeremy Holden (1990) funded organization Flora and Fauna Int. And that is not less important National Geographic television expedition team since last year. Certainly not the ordinary investigative media class that they entered the forests of Sumatra. 

Debbi Martyr and Marcopolo call spsies primates, great apes. But I am more confident on the assumption that the human species Heerwarden, trapped in a culture of old metal or even stone. The first (based on the testimony of several people around the Swamp Rodang Tinapor, district. Siabu) because of the physical resemblance to humans, both for having known hunting tools, language has a system of symbols. And it's all cultural markers. If so, we are not the only human species on Sumatra, only a freeman, not the rightful heir to the land. Nature is a miracle, the mystery of destiny. And the past was not only memorable, but it may also immortality.
