His discovery is FAR worse than when I saw my cousin had eleven toes, 7 on the left and 4 on the rightπ±

Thanks! It's not one of Lovecraft's most well-known tales, but it does pack a punch.

Despite the clear racist elements itβs an interesting conceptΒ

The time in which this story was written, Lovecraft's archaic fears weren't out of place at all. In this case, they go beyond casual racism and into beastiality, which makes the story unsettling even today.

What would Lovecraft have made of the clear genetic evidence of Europeans having a tiny but consistent amount of Neanderthal blood? Would he advocate mass suicide? On the other hand, the only people WITHOUT either Neanderthal or Denisovan blood are pure Africans, and given his low opinion them to start with, it makes me wonder how he might rationalize it.

I think Lovecraft would've found the info fascinating, and that he would've made some use of it in his stories, if only as a passing reference. He had his strong opinions about stuff but seems to have been at his core a level-headed gentleman. I feel that he wouldn't have allowed himself any overreactions of an extreme kind.

Huh. So what if this poor fellow had NOT discovered his ancestry, and went on passing his bloodline down for several more generations? How dilute would have been enough for Lovecraft to consider human enough to live with it?

This remember me how the christian fundamentalist reacts to the idea of evolution...

This is how I react to the idea of creationism!

One of his ancestors had sex with a white ape, and poor Arthur takes that info rather badly.

I'd probably find it pretty disturbing myself if I had learned that one of my had committed an act of bestiality and I was a product of that. I guess it explains, though, why he looks pretty apish.

Man, he was a wuss. I think it would be awesome to find out my great-great grandma was a gorilla

I we go back far enough, I think we all have a gorilla (or something like it) in our families.

Yeah. I'd use my gorilla strength to do good, like beat up terrorists and save kittens from trees.

Apparently, poor Arthur didn't think that far

So utterly awesome, great expressions in a perfect moment of horror oh Β I can almost taste the fear and it has a tang like Victorian potatoes flavoured skittles. So good.Β

This man has a mummy of his great-grandmummy in his closet instead of a mere skeleton. Β

This Lovecraft's short story is so good, one of my favorites.

I think it's a sadly overlooked tale, but yes; it's a good one

Never read this one will have to look into it. Awesome work here

It's a pretty short story, with lots of delightfully awkward and creepy details

Yup!Β "Life is a hideous thing," one of HPL's most gripping opening lines...I absolutely love this story, and you have nailed it perfectly!!!

This story is usually quite derided for its content. I think it's a perfectly wrought little tale. Probably quite personal too.

It's been said that all art is basically self-portraiture in one form or another,
and Lovecraft's tales are no exception; Arthur Jermyn, Delapore, even the weird hybrid
Wilbur Whateley all share HP's fears about his own ancestry and legacy.
