- Henrik Jakob Wikar or Hendrik Jakob Wikar (born 28 October 1752 Kokkola, Finland (at that time Sweden)) was a Finnish explorer who travelled in Southern Africa and wrote his journal describing the life of the Khoisan people. Wikar's father was Jakob Johan Wikar, a land surveyor and a deputy of the Riksdag of the Estates, and his mother was Margareta Carlborg, his father's second wife. Wikar came from Ostrobothnia and studied in The Royal Academy of Turku in 1769. In 1773 he was employed in Holland by Dutch East India Company. He worked as a clerk in Cape Town in the company's hospital. He had to leave in 1775 as he could not pay his gambling debts and was publicly insulted on the streets of Cape Town and left to explore the north of the Colony where he stayed for four years. From 1778 to July 1779 he wrote his journal there. He was convicted in 1779 as a runagate but his journal saved him: he was pardoned autumn 1779, probably because the journal included some important notes for the Company. He described the rituals and customs of the Khoisan people, and numerous scientists have used his records. (en)
- Henrik Jakob Wikar eller Hendrik Jakob Wikar, född 28 oktober 1752 i Gamlakarleby, Mellersta Österbotten, var en finsk upptäcktsresande som reste i Sydafrika och som skrev sin journal om folkslaget khoisan. Wikars far Jakob Johan Wikar var lantmätare och ombud vid Ståndsriksdagen, och hans mor var Margareta Carlborg, dennes andra fru. Wikar kom från Österbotten och skrevs in vid Kungliga Akademien i Åbo år 1769. År 1773 anställdes han i Nederländerna av Holländska Ostindiska Kompaniet. Han arbetade som kontorist vid företagets sjukhus i Kapstaden. Han trivdes inte med detta och lämnade 1775 och flyttade till norra delen av kolonin där han stannade i fyra år. Mellan 1778 och juni 1779 skrev han sin journal. Han dömdes som desertör år 1779 men hans journal räddade honom och han benådades samma år, troligtvis för att det fanns uppgifter som han samlat som kunde vara till nytta för företaget. Han beskrev riter och seder hos khoisan-folekt och flera vetenskapsmän använde hans uppgifter. (sv)
