NO. 3662 PRIMATE BIOLOGY—NAPIER Dike 
6. Identification Manual: There would appear to be an urgent need in many 
laboratories that use for a short and concise identification manual; preparations 
for such a publication are already underway. The manual would incorporate a 
number of color plates of the skins of certain common laboratory primates. 
Postscript 
A long time has elapsed since 130 A.D., when the anatomist Galen 
of Pergamum, discovering that, of all living things, the ape is ‘‘likest 
to man,” proceeded to practice what he preached by using monkeys as 
substitutes for human cadavers. Eighteen centuries later—although 
the correctness of Galen’s pronouncement has long since been proven 
up to the hilt—we are still somewhat chary of admitting the full 
potential of this relationship.
