Description
Krao Farini (1876 - April 16, 1926) was an American sideshow performer born with hypertrichosis. It is claimed that in 1881, Krao and her parents were captured in Laos during an expedition conducted by the explorer Carl Bock. She was described as being part of a primitive tribe of humans called "Kraos-monink". By 1883, Krao was exhibited in Europe as an example of a missing link between humanity and apes and proof of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. She was given the surname of Farini at some point after her capture by sideshow promoter Guillermo Antonio Farini when he adopted her.
