THE MISSING LINK
DESCENT OF THE APE. LONDON, September 14. The ape is descended from man, and not man from the ape, says Professor Westenhoeffer, custodian of the Pathological Museum at Berlin University. At least, the professor adds, “monkeys possessed man-like animals as forbears. Chimpanzee cubs resembled human beings more than their own parents. Certain human inner organs suggested that man’s ancestors once lived in the water, but these characteristics were absent from apes, showing that apes represented a development beyond man.”
