Summary Ian Whimster was a noted pathologist, dermatopathologist, comparative pathologist, anatomist, and creative thinker. He drew analogies between animal variability and human disease with regard to pigmentation, epithelial and vascular changes. Iknow that he would have seen the intriguing fact and probable jest in the equivalent reactivity of the monkey sexual skin and the human atopic skin responses.
