MAN AND APES. 133 



any other members of the order. Finally, 

 we have seen that even some of the Half-apes 

 present most remarkable resemblances to man. 

 The teaching then, of the skeleton, as also of 

 the other parts we have as yet reviewed, 

 seems to be that resemblance to man is shared 

 in different and not very unequal degrees by 

 <livers species of the order, rather than that 

 any one kind is plainly and unquestionably 

 much more human than any of the others. ' 



Affinities seem rather to radiate from man 

 in various directions than to follow one 

 special route. At present, however, the facts 

 presented are not sufficient to warrant the 

 expression of a confident judgment. In order 

 to arrive at such a judgment it will be 

 necessary to survey the other organs of the 

 body ; and then, summarising the results, we 

 shall have material sufficient to examine the 

 third question proposed, namely, the bearing 

 of the facts upon the theory of evolution as 

 applied to man.
