The work explores the taxonomy and characteristics of various species of apes, emphasizing their relationship to humans and the evolution of perception regarding these primates throughout history. The text likely addresses the physical, behavioral, and social traits of apes, comparing them with other mammals and analyzing how these similarities and differences have influenced human attitudes towards them. The opening of the book introduces the concept of apes and their human-like appearance that has long intrigued observers. Brehm discusses historical beliefs about the connection between apes and humans, including a past assertion that some apes are "degenerate humans," to present-day understandings that consider humans as more evolved descendants of a common ancestor. The text further elaborates on the physical diversity among apes, such as their size and body structure, along with their behavioral traits, highlighting their intelligence, social structures, and complex emotions, as well as the misconceptions and prejudices that have colored perceptions of their nature across cultures and epochs.
