,re T if 'Q A KNISH: His habits seem to be like those of the lowest animals. His chatterings show no resemblance to intelligent speech, such as ours, more like those of the brainless macaw. Apparently, he is totally without mental capabilities. IVIUTTAL: Those abbreviated, attenuated, fore-limbs, of what possible use can they be? For swinging from tree to tree, they are manifestly too weak. TUTTAL: Those elongated hind-limbs, so ugly to view! Why does he hide his feet in those awkward bindings? ZUTTAL: VVhy does he hide his body from view? Is it to conceal his lack of a cover- ing of hair? His must be an abominable, ill-smelling body, that he must bury it in artificial, unnatural coverings. KNISH: You can find faults and defects in this creature ad infinitum. lt would be difficult to find any enlightening tendencies, any! signs of refinement, such as is a product of our higher civilization. lVIAN: They walk and hold themselves very awkwardly. They have not even the grace of some of the other apes. fTIlki7lg notcsl: On the whole this species impresses me very unfavorably. lt is inconceivable that modern man can have any direct relationship with these things, even to have descended with them from a common branch. The gap between the human race and these apes is too great. On the whole, this creature creates a very poor impression. It is absurd to even consider a possibility of our having descended from such an inferior form. NVe shall have to look further for a missing link. QTlze wzse ones deliberate lllll0lL-Q tlzellzselves for Il short time.J ' MUTTAL fthe 5p0kL'S7l7lI7l, 1r1ldre.vsi11g the rabblelz This strange creature, the like of which we have never seen before, is evidently one of an inferior order of animals, whose habitat is unknown to us. He will be placed on exhibition so that you can all view him, and amuse yourselves. We will note his peculiar habits, attempt to analyze them, and we will study him with the purpose in view, of detecting any traces of intelligence, if any, there are in his make-up. Thus far, we have noted none. Afterwards, we will subject him to various scientific experiments, and note his reactions. You need have no qualms as to inflicting useless cruelties on helpless animals, since it is all in the advancement of science. Especially will we note his brain reactions if he has anyg the brain will be removed pa'rt by part while he is still living. Following his death, we will dissect him completely. A comprehensive re- port will be written and published in our anthropological journal. CTIII' 'wise ones le11111',' the 1111111 is led a'w11y,' the baboons scatter.l MRS. BABOON: l don't care whether he is intelligent or not. I think he is very good-looking. MISS BABOONA: What is your taste? Wliat can be good-looking in a faceless head like that? lsr BABOON: What a filthy animal! 2ND BABOON: Imagine having to go through life with a face and form like that! Let us thank the lVIaker that He has made us Baboons and not beasts! That He has seen fit, in His goodness, to make the Baboons the highest form of development, the topmost rung of the animal scale! And that He has made inferior animals, such as that creature, subservient to our enlightened will.

The big tree, with a little clearing around it. The wise ones, Muttal, Tuttal and Zuttal, with their chief, the wisest one, Knish, in front, are stationed in front of the tree, standing on the slightly raised roots. They look like the judges in a courtroom, and fully as intelligent. The hoi polloi are gathered around, some distance back. The leader comes forward leading his prisoner.
