But it is more than just a riveting tale; it is also a brilliant exploration of ideas that illuminate the very nature of humankind."--David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of THE LOST CITY OF Z and THE DEVIL AND SHERLOCK HOLMES
"Intriguing. . . . Rattles along with fine, wacky momentum."--The New York Times Book Review "Gripping. . . . Intellectually satisfying. . . . Exciting."--Salon "A celebration of accomplishments too far-reaching to be understood in their time."--The Daily BeastIn 1856, Paul Du Chaillu ventured into the African jungle in search of a mythic beast, the gorilla. After wild encounters with vicious cannibals, deadly snakes, and tribal kings, Du Chaillu emerged with 20 preserved gorilla skins—two of which were stuffed and brought on tour—and walked smack dab into the biggest scientific debate of the time: Darwin's theory of evolution. Quickly, Du Chaillu's trophies went from objects of wonder to key pieces in an all-out intellectual war. With a wide range of characters, including Abraham Lincoln, Arthur Conan Doyle, P.T Barnum, Thackeray, and of course, Charles Darwin, this is a one of a kind book about a singular moment in history.
