It’s not really a ficlet chain, so much as it’s a sliced and diced short story, but I saw that it was Richard Leakey’s birthday on the inspiration page, and so…
I’m sure it would benefit from editing, etc., but it’s really a minor little thing. I do hope you enjoyed it, though.

Wow, that hurts the human and the anthropologist in me (for some reason, I feel like the two are separate). I particularly liked this ficlet. I feel that it very strongly conveyed the ugly arrogance that was so indicative of 19th century white society.
