"Anthropoid Apes" by Robert Hartmann is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the study of anthropoid apes, focusing on their external and anatomical structures, as well as the history of human acquaintance with these remarkable primates. Hartmann, a professor at the University of Berlin, provides a comprehensive examination of various species, including gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and gibbons, emphasizing their similarities with humans and each other. The opening of the book outlines the historical context of our understanding of anthropoid apes, dating back to ancient civilizations, such as the Carthaginians, who first documented encounters with these creatures. It discusses significant explorations and scientific observations over the centuries, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their anatomy and external features. Hartmann introduces early accounts, emphasizes the evolution of knowledge regarding these species, and hints at the anatomical comparisons that will follow in the subsequent chapters, establishing a foundation for the scientific inquiry that characterizes the rest of the text.
