Note:

Abstract: An account of four species of the genus Simia, considered by Linnaeus to include most apes and monkeys (restricted by later authors to the chimpanzee). Much of the data are from literature accounts, later known to be erroneous. The dissertation generated dissension among some theologians for its alliance of humans with the apes.
