Title
The Fall of Man or, The Loves of the Gorillas, by Richard Grant White (New York, 1871), pp. 46 – 47
Description
The author cites Darwin’s use of Latin in a footnote on p.13 of Descent, vol. 1 which veiled a statement on baboons’ sexual attraction to human females. Here, the author not only translates elements of the Latin into English but also provides an illustration of said sexual frenzy in action, thus deliberately making it accessible to the broadest possible audience.
