Young Apes Resemble Human Children

Hartmann, in his work on the Anthropoid Apes (289, p. 301), quotes, approvingly, the words of Vogt: ‘When we consider the principles of the modern theory of evolution, as it is applied to the history of development, we are met by the important fact that in every respect the young ape stands nearer to the human child than the adult ape does to the adult man. The original differences between the young creatures of both types are much slighter than in their adult condition : this assertion, made long since, in my lectures on the human race, has received a striking confirmation from recent autopsies of young anthropoids which have died inthe Zoological Gardens of Europe. In proportion to the age of the specimen, the characteristic differences in the form of the jaw, the cranial ridges, etc., become more evident. Jlolh man and apes are developed from an embryonic condition, and from the period of childhood in a diverging or almost oppposite direction into the final type of their spccies, yet even adult a[)es still retain in their whole organisation features which correspond to those of the human child.’
