WOMEN AND APES
SCIENCE SEES RESEMBLANCE.
London, Oct. 5
Woman resembles the ape more than does man, at least so it seems to Dr. Arthur Thomson, eminent ’ British anatomist, professor in that science al Oxford University since 1893. In making his assertion before the. Royal Academy on Tuesday night, Dr. Thomson said the basis for his statement was that woman’s legs are usually shorter, and her arms longer, than man’s.
It is only conceit which makes mankind believe it is not descended from the ape, he continued. Although generations have wrought great changes in anatomy, the similarities are too great to be ignored. Furthermore, he contended, a baby, until it can walk, ‘‘resembles the ape in nearly every respect.”
