Notice posted in the London Times, 1912:
"Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."
5000 people responded to the call. Shackleton selected twenty-seven and began his journey.
New hybrid human species may be born with similarly frank calls for volunteers.
