Description:Eugène Marais has made exceptional contributions towards nature, politics and literature on international level and in his country of birth, South Africa. Geniuses are scattered far and wide and in many cases not adequately honored in either their lifetime or country of birth. Eugène Nielen Marais fits this category. Robert Ardrey, the world-renowned American scientist and anthropologist, considered the contributions of Eugène Marais to the Natural Sciences to be of greater value than that of Albert Einstein to mathematics. In the introduction to The Soul of the Ape in 1969 Ardrey "As a scientist he was unique, supreme in his time, yet a worker in a science unborn." Today Eugène Marais is widely acknowledged as one of the pioneers of Ethology, the branch of zoology that studies the behavior of animals in their natural habitats. During 2003 Eugène Marais was singled out by an independent panel of international literary scholars as one of the top 15 African literators of the twentieth century. What was it that Eugène Marais so vigorously and relentlessly sought through his work? In politics a fair deal for the oppressed, for his nation their own culture and language and in nature an answer to the question ‘what is the soul?’ Among his literary works his two most celebrated books were The Soul of the White Ant later followed by the equally famous The Soul of the Ape. Had he not passed away his next masterpiece may well have been The Soul of the Human Being, that would have completed an unrivalled trilogy. There is no doubt that Eugène Marais showed signs of a vast intellect as a young scholar. To this day his brilliance is evident in his work. His legacy extends well beyond the confines of his country of birth. As a natural scientist his studies paved the way for the animal behavior sciences and he is regarded as the founder of Ethology. He was as an advisor to the British Government instrumental in shaping the political landscape after the Anglo-Boer War declaration of peace and negotiated various favorable peace deals for his fellow countrymen. He persuaded British leaders to cease immoral supremacy over other nations. Marais predicted that the suffering caused by Imperialism would denigrate the Empire. He performed the first successful medical treatment by means of hypnosis in South Africa. He championed the second Afrikaanse Taalbeweging (language movement), establishing Afrikaans as a distinct language, and is also its most prolific contributor. He gave the world with his poem Winternag (‘A Winter Tale’) the 85 most important words ever written in the Afrikaans vocabulary. Eugène N.
