Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm (1758 - 1811) was a Protestant pastor and writer on natural history, perhaps best known for his monumental work "Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte" ("Wilhelm's Discourses on Natural History"). In the present entry, he takes a closer look at human figures, their customs, habits, beliefs and other curiosities.
