EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 11 from Symbolae Physicae section: Zoologica I. Mammalia by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795-1876) presents an intriguing depiction of a Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) family unit, consisting of one adult male, one juvenile, and one adult female. This nineteenth century engraving, created during the 1800s, showcases the Hamadryas baboons in their natural habitat, likely in the Ethiopian highlands. Hamadryas baboons are Old World monkeys, belonging to the Cercopithecidae family and the Cercopithecinae subfamily. They are placental mammals, meaning they develop inside their mother's womb and are nourished by placental tissue. This family is also part of the Haplorhini order, which includes tarsiers, lorises, and New World monkeys. The Hamadryas baboon is easily identified by the distinctive white markings on their faces, which resemble a mask. The adult male in this illustration is shown with a prominent mane, while the juvenile appears smaller and more agile. The Hamadryas baboon is native to East Africa and is known for its social structure, living in troops led by a dominant male. Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795-1876) was a German naturalist and zoologist who made significant contributions to the fields of paleontology, geology, and anthropology. This illustration is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The Hamadryas baboon family unit depicted in Plate 11 remains an important historical record of these fascinating primates.
