Human Zoos were public exhibits of humans as if they were animals, very popular between the 19th and 20th centuries in Europe and the United States.

During those years, colonialism in Europe was at its highest point, and due to the curiosity of some Europeans to see what the inhabitants of the overseas colonies were like, the Human Zoos were created, which showed people from Africa, America, Asia and Oceania in recreations of their places of origin so that Europeans could see their behaviors, as if they were animals. Apart from indigenous peoples, Human Zoos also occasionally included people with fictional disabilities or Europeans who practiced a lifestyle considered more primitive.
