By popular demand, this course will explore a range of historic periods and themes through the lens of some very famous monkeys (and apes!) History is a wonderfully diverse subject and does not need to focus on great people, kings and wars. These creatures will give students a glimpse of incredible stories from the question of where Irish people came from to a monkey that fought dogs in 19th century London. By using the monkey as a lens by which to look at history we may well discover a lot about ourselves.
