Gerolf Steiner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerolf Steiner was a professor of zoology at the University of Hamburg. He is famous worldwide for a little book on the anatomy and habits of the Rhinogradentia, a fictitious order of mammals whose nose has evolved in most remarkable ways.
The book was published under the pseudonym of Harald Stümpke. In 1962, it was translated into French and published by the respectable biosciences and medical publisher Masson, which caused a stir.
