Exploring the evolution of thought surrounding great apes and human ancestors, this book examines how perceptions of the animal-human boundary have shifted from Linnaeus to contemporary research. It highlights the ongoing struggle to define human dignity within various scientific fields, including taxonomy and primatology. By providing an anthropological analysis of these disciplines, the work reveals the cultural taboos and philosophical beliefs that shape their research, offering a fresh perspective on our understanding of humanity's place in the animal kingdom.
