From 1877 onwards, the Jardin Zoologique d'Acclimatation converted to "l'Acclimatation Anthropologique". In mid-colonialism, the curiosity of Parisians was attracted to the customs and lifestyles of foreign peoples. Nubians, Bushmen, Zulus and many other African peoples were "exhibited", a practice that would last until the end of the 19th century.
