Were the 1937 'AMAZON APEMAN' PHOTOS Authentic?

Could these pictures dated from the 1930s of a supposed apeman found in the jungles of Brazil be proof for the much sought-after missing link?

According to a report in the Daily Mail in October 2012, the 'apeman's' giant lips, furrowed brow, and awkward monkey-like gait appear to be simian and the Dutch magazine 'Het Leven' which published them in 1937 certainly seemed convinced, describing the pictures as those of a mystery apeman.

However, despite any excitement at the zoological and anthropological find of the past one hundred years, many online observers have cast a keen eye onto the pictures and found the tell-tale signs of prosthetic make-up on the face of the apparent monkey-man.

Rather than changing the perceptions of scientists across the world, it appears that the apeman's mouth and brow are stuck into place using rudimentary makeup.


Visible in one picture is the line of the prosthetic mouth which covers the chin up to the bridge of the nose. Other observers have pointed out that the forehead will always be covered with hair in any make-up situation to blend in the prosthesis.

A shrewd onlooker pointed out that for a man recently found wild in the jungles of Brazil, he is remarkably well-shaven and has a particularly neat, if unfashionable haircut.

Others online have made the sad claim that this apeman is most likely an unfortunate individual born with birth defects and exploited to wear the make-up and prosthetics to pose and pretend to be a newly discovered apeman.

Indeed, throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, reports of wild and mythic ape-like beasts living in remote and far-flung locations have fascinated readers across the world.
