Information about Eugene Marais is very interesting in itself. A journalist, a doctor and a lawyer who after the Boer war went into a secluded life to living with baboons. This obviously had to come to an end with the Boer farmers returning and chasing out the baboons from their habitat. He then researched into termites which was published in Afrikaans in South Africa. This was plagiarised by Maurice Maeterlinck in his work. This seems to have affected the health of Eugene. Subsequently he took his life.
