Ota Benga

In 1904, Ota Benga was abducted from Congo and transported to the United States, where he was put on display alongside monkeys. 

Benga was placed in a cage with an orangutan as a lampoon on Darwinism. 

Benga he was given a functional bow and arrow to protect himself from the orangutan if need be. However, he often used it on the visitors who mocked him instead. 

After he was freed from the zoo, he tried to return to Africa but the outbreak of WWI stopped that from happening. 

Benga sadly took his own life in 1916.
