Description
St George Jackson Mivart (1827–1900) was a comparative anatomist and one of Darwin’s most vigorous English critics. In this essay from 1873, he rejects any similarities between humans and apes, criticising the arguments of Descent and of Expression, while also using a visual technique and illustrations.
'Now […] the tendency is to accept without examination and without criticism the statements of every advocate of the essential unity of man and beasts.'
