588 MUSCLES OF MAN CHAP.. 
the greatest stress is laid in walking. As to muscles, the glutaeus 
maximus is more developed in Man—the Ape which most nearly 
approaches him being the Gorilla, in which animal the life is 
less thoroughly arboreal than in some others. The so-called 
“scansorius” is only present in Man as an occasional occurrence.

The rudimentary character of the ear muscles for the movement of 
the external ear in Man has often been insisted upon, as also 
their occasional functional activity. But here and elsewhere, so 
numerous are the abnormalities, that “the gap which usually 
separates the muscular system of Man from that of the Anthro- 
poids appears to be completely bridged over.” These are words 
of Professor Wiedersheim quoted from Testut, and express a final 
summary of the matter of muscles in Man and the Apes.
