Details

Two hairy children of Pedro Gonzalez (Petrus Gonsalvus), born in 1537, who suffered from hypertrichosis, and his French wife who did not have the condition. They had seven children, some of whom 'favoured their mother in looks and complexion, whereas others are covered in hair and take after their father'.
