MAN AND THE GORILLA.
Scientist Contends That They Are
Not of Same Family.
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. In all , he said , there was to
solve extent less difference between .

One of the salient features which
showed the important differences
between man and the gorilla ,
P'of. ) Chapman colltiImuel , existed
ill the fact that , while man pos
Sensed ( the long flexor in his thumb ,
the gorilla was minus such an ate
SS01''y. There were 80 01' more
points of great difference ' between -
the two , proving undotIbtpdl ' thn t j

In referring : to the inability 01
the gOl'illa ] to lank , Prof. Chapman
accounted for it by saying that a
hollow in the front of the apt " 'a i '
brain , together with the animal's I
iIability i -to control I its nI'YP 'en- I
