Prof Darwin's theory that man originally descended from the ape was contradicted t recently by Prof. Chapman ill a lecture given in the leadenly of Natural Sciences - ences , says the Philadelphia Led- gel' One of the rarest and pl'r- haps the finest collection of' anthropoid - thropoid apes in the world , fire in llUmUel' , presented to the Acad- em : of Natural Sciences in Phila rlelvhia , bJ' j )1' ) . Tlioluas Diddle , who secured the collection fJ'om thc liamlJurg museum , was on cx- hibition Prof Chapman made a minute comparison of the anthropoid aJ"s ) anatomy with that of the human being and said that the gorilla more closely resembled . ill its ' ' than man physical make-up the othl''s. ) The bones of the got'- ilIa's paws OJ' hands , he said ] , were similar in a great nWIlY I'lSIJects to those of' man , while time animal ; was also equipped with a score or 11101'e of 111us'lps foun in Ow 1m- man uody At the same time time i'c ( were .nUlnr important dis'repan- 'ies between nw two. He displ1t- cd the t opinion of ninny scientists who asserted that the gorilla had four haud , by saying that it had really only tWo hands amid two feet , although all four , he said , were fJ'pCtWIlt'Iput ) : to Ow same tIRp.
