The Marmoset
“Marmoset tearing pictures of bugs out of a book and eating them.”
Marmosets have one of the most primitive brain structures of all the monkeys, and are native to South America. Some tribes of Amazonian natives both consume certain marmoset species for protein, while keeping the same species as pets (which are often as much a part of the family as any child).
Big game hunting in Africa and other lands. Axel Lundeberg and Frederick Seamour, 1910.
