How near are the great apes to us? Robert Hartmann traces the growing acquaintance with gorilla, chimpanzee, and orangutan, then compares their outer form and anatomy point by point with the human frame. A careful nineteenth-century look at our closest relatives. Study the apes that forced humanity to reconsider its family tree.
