The article What You See is What You’ve Learned looks into Turnbull’s findings while studying the Pygmy villages in the Congo. Accompanied by the local, Kenge, as a guide, Turnbull traveled from village to village. At one point during their travels, Kenge and Turnbull came upon a spot that had been cleared away of trees. Unused to the sight, Kenge’s perception of his new surroundings caused distortion in his mind of what he was seeing. As he took stock of newly revealed terrain, Kenge was conflicted over whether he was seeing clouds or hills when he was actually looking at mountains, which Turnbull had to clarify for him. Because the appearance of the mountains were so new to him, Turnbull offered to take him closer for keener observation.
