MAN AND APES.

very human, and a liver which is more like the liver of man 
than is that of any other animal whatever. 
The liver of the Orang and the Chimpanzee is not very dif- 
ferent from that of man, but, strange to say, in the Grorilla we 
meet with a very degraded liver, and one formed on the type 
of liver which exists in the lower Monkeys and the Baboons — 
with the lobes subdivided. 
The teeth of Apes resemble those of man in varying degrees, 
and the several resemblances which may exist are by no means 
present at the same time in the dentition of any one of the 
lati sternal Apes.

1. One striking character of the human teeth is their almost 
equal vertical development. All the Apes, on the contrary, 
possess more or less projecting tusk-like “ eye teeth,” or 
‘‘ co.nines^'^ as they are technically called, because similarly 
projecting in the dog. 
Now in all the broad-breastboned Apes, the canines are both 
exceedingly long and powerful, and indeed the Simiince are 
almost like Baboons in this respect. 
The nearest approach to man is found not in the Apes at all, 
but in the Half- Apes, where in some forms (as e.g. Hapalemur) 
the excess in length of the canines over the grinding teeth is 
very small indeed. 
2. The second noteworthy character of the human dentition
