Paul Du Chaillu

    Deze reiziger en zoöloog werd beroemd als de eerste Europeaan die het bestaan van gorilla's en pygmeeën in Centraal-Afrika bevestigde. Hij breidde zijn werk uit met onderzoek naar de Scandinavische prehistorie, waarmee hij onze kennis van verre culturen en diersoorten verrijkte. Zijn literaire bijdrage ligt in gedetailleerde observaties en boeiende verhalen over onontdekte delen van de wereld.
