This audio guide for Zoos and Natural History Museums
gives a retrospective view on how humans perceived and
described animals throughout the last 2350 years.
All quotations are marked by strange, sometimes erroneous
conceptions and misinterpretations of the seen;
often inflicted by the author's intense impressions
during the primal encounter with an unknown creature,
as well as his general dependence on established
belief and knowledge systems, that guided the birth of
modern zoology.
