The Metaphysics of Apes: Negotiating the Animal-Human Boundary
Corbey, Raymond H. A. (Universiteit Leiden)
The Metaphysics of Apes, first published in 2005, traces the discovery and interpretation of the human-like great apes and the ape-like earliest ancestors of present-day humans. It shows how, from the days of Linnaeus to recent research, the sacred and taboo-ridden animal-human boundary was time and again challenged and adjusted.
