SOURCE: "The Dual World" by Arthur K. Barnes  (Thrilling Wonder Stories, June 1938)

DESCRIPTION: "The four creatures led them only a short way, stopping soon before a structure with the appearance of a giant bee-hive punctured by numerous entrances. It seemed to be a sort of community igloo built of several individual mud huts joined in a cluster. There were perhaps a score of doorways, and before each opening sat the amazing counterparts of the six-legged morons. They were counterparts in physical structure, that is, but not in mental capacity. For their enormous brain cases and haggard expressions indicated obviously that here were beings whose sole aim in life was to cerebrate. " ("The Dual World" by Arthur K. Barnes)

NOTES: The Dualites of Venus are humanoids that are born in pairs like all the creatures of the Dual World. One twin will be emotional while the other is intelligent.

HISTORY: Barnes gets to play with the duality of human nature in this story. The Jekyll and Hyde nature of the Dualites is explained as an evolutionary tactic.
