Man's an Anthropoid—he cannot help that, you know— First evoluted from Pongos of old; He's but a branch of the catarrhine cat, you know— Monkey I mean—that's an ape with a cold.

That this "tailless, catarrhine, anthropoid ape" should have had anything resembling a religion, is, of course, not to be thought of.

Man is not only a vertebrate, a mammal, and a primate, but he belongs, as a genus, to the catarrhine family of apes.

Hence in the genealogy of the mammals we must derive man immediately from the catarrhine group, and locate the origin of the human race in the Old World.

Thus he would not object to relationship with a tailless catarrhine anthropoid ape, descended from a monad or a primal ascidian.
