QR code
"Gorillas & Chimpanzees" by R. L. Garner is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the study of great apes, particularly gorillas and chimpanzees, aiming to present their physical, mental, and social behaviors as observed by the author during his research. Garner intends to bridge the gap between scientific understanding and public perception, highlighting the dignity and complexity of these animals. The opening of the volume
outlines Garner's motivations and methods for studying these primates. He explains his extensive research on their habits and communication, stressing the significant overlap between human and ape anatomy, particularly in the structure of the skeleton. He sets the stage for his detailed exploration of the lives of gorillas and chimpanzees through personal anecdotes and direct observation, hinting at the unique experiences he gained while living among them in the African jungle. Garner's detailed comparisons between humans and apes establish the groundwork for a thorough examination of both species' characteristics throughout the rest of the book.
