490 1 Race in the Atlantic world, 1700-1900
504 Includes bibliographical references and index.
505 0 The southern Gabonese coast in the age of Garner --
Garner's animal business in Africa and America -- Is the
monkey man manly enough? -- Race, knowledge, and
colonialism in Garner's African writings -- African
animals for white supremacy -- An American sorcerer in
colonial Gabon -- Aping civilization.
520 "Jeremy Rich uses the eccentric life of R.L. Garner (1848-
1920) to examine the commercial networks that brought the
first apes to America during the Progressive Era, a
critical time in the development of ideas about African
wildlife, race, and evolution. Garner was a self-taught
zoologist and atheist from southwest Virginia. Starting in
1892, he lived on and off in the French colony of Gabon,
studying primates and trying to engage U.S. academics with
his theories. Most prominently, Garner claimed that he
could teach apes to speak human languages and that he
could speak the languages of primates. Garner brought some
of the first live primates to America, launching a
traveling demonstration in which he claimed to communicate
with a chimpanzee named Susie. He was often mocked by the
increasingly professionalized scientific community, who
were wary of his colorful escapades, such as his ill-fated
plan to make a New York City socialite the queen of
southern Gabon, and his efforts to convince Thomas Edison
to finance him in Africa. Yet Garner did influence
evolutionary debates, and as with many of his era, race
dominated his thinking. Garner's arguments--for example,
that chimpanzees were more loving than Africans, or that
colonialism constituted a threat to the separation of the
races--offer a fascinating perspective on the thinking and
attitudes of his times. Missing Links explores the impact
of colonialism on Africans, the complicated politics of
buying and selling primates, and the popularization of
biological racism."--Project Muse.
