The 'Apeman of the Amazon': 75-year-old picture
sweeps internet but does it show man's missing link . . . or the work of a very
good make-up artist?
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?
His giant lips and furrowed brow and awkward monkey-like gait appear to

certainly seemed convinced, describing the pictures as those of a mystery
apeman.
The internet has been awash with speculation following the appearance of
the pictures on the imgur picture-sharing website two days ago. Since then,
millions have seen them on reddit, Facebook and such like.

many more seem keen to believe this is historic evidence of an anthropological
marvel.
