From Cretin to Genius

In the 1920s, Doctor Serge Voronoff famously decided that grafting monkey glands onto the testicles of human males would rejuvenate the recipients. His ludicrous failed experiments provided the punchlines for innumerable jokes thereafter.

But what I did not realize was that twenty years later, Voronoff was still at it. Now he claimed, in his book FROM CRETIN TO GENIUS, that transplanting monkey glands would alter the intelligence of the subjects. Below is the start of a review from 1943.

I'd heard about the guy that got a baby elephant's trunk to replace his severed johnson but never heard anything about monkey nuts.

Judging by the photo of his wife, perhaps the good doctor's claims about a miracle, rejuvenation elixir might have some basis in truth!

Hopefully, that's part of the wall sconce behind his wife. Otherwise, he grafted a parabolic antenna to her head.

The dumbing down of society is already well established without his help.

If he can't accomplish something positive then he shouldn't monkey around with it.
