Beschreibung
The Metaphysics of Apes 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. The unique dignity of humans is centrally on the minds of taxonomists, ethnologists, primatologists, and archaeologists, guiding their research [...] book thus is the first to offer an anthropological analysis of these anthropological disciplines in terms of their own cultural taboos and philosophical preconceptions.
