Man and Apes

Book Overview

""Man and Apes: An Exposition of Structural Resemblances and Differences Bearing upon Questions of Affinity and Origin"" is a book written by George Jackson Mivart in 1873. The book explores the similarities and differences between humans and apes, and how these similarities and differences relate to questions of evolutionary origin and biological affinity. Mivart was a prominent biologist and theologian of his time, and his book reflects both his scientific and religious perspectives. He argues that while humans and apes share many structural similarities, there are also important differences that suggest a fundamental separation between the two groups. Mivart's book was influential in shaping the scientific and popular understanding of human evolution in the late 19th century, and it remains an important historical document in the history of evolutionary biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
