Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the external form of humans and man-like apes, particularly in how man's body plan differs from that of his closest animal relatives. The author traveled the globe to collect data from living subjects, meticulously recording the detailed measurements and characteristics that would become the basis of this comprehensive and profusely illustrated work. The book treats the anthropoid apesâ"chiefly the gorilla, chimpanzee, and orangutanâ"as both unique species in their own right, and as model organisms for understanding human evolution and morphology. The text delves into anatomical variations among the different species, with particular attention to how the gorilla deviates from the human body plan. It also highlights the deeply comparative nature of physical anthropology and the history of scientific debate over whether man should be placed into a family with the apes or monkeys.
