Summary:	Only coming to prominence in the mid-nineteenth century when English, French and American scientists encountered the animal for the first time, the gorilla's physical resemblance to humans immediately struck a chord. This book presents a history of this animal's influence on our culture, as well as its plight at the hands of humankind.
