- Title
The Gorilla's Foot.
- Authors
LANKESTER, E. RAY
- Abstract
IN NATURE of January 5, I showed conclusively that, the figure of the gorilla's foot published by the well-known taxidermist, Mr. Carl Akeley, in the World's Work, October 1922, is (as I had stated in my book, 'Great and Small Things') entirely erroneous. The figure was a reproduction of a photograph of a cast deceptively illuminated and made to present a false resemblance to the foot of man. It was adduced by Mr. Akeley as evidence in support of his erroneous statements as to the existence of a closer resemblance between the gorilla and man than has been recognised, hitherto, by men of science.
