A Scientist Dares to Say the Dear Pink
Darlings Resemble Monkeys Toes.
How many people have ever taken
notice Of baby's foot. except to admire
its pinkness and prettiness?n said a we'll
known scientist. "And yet to the anato-
mist it is a revelation. Take, for example,
the tootsies of child of ten months that
has never walked nor stood alone. 1t has
power Of grasping TO some extent, ana
is used instinctively like a hand The
great toe has a certain independent work
ing. like thumb, and the wrinkles OF
the sole resemble those of the palm
These markings almost entirely disappear
after the pedal extremity has come to be
employed for purposes of support and
locomotion.
sThe hands and feet of a human being
are strikingly like those of the chimpan-
zee in conformation, while the gorilla's
resent lance to man in these respects Is
even more remarkable. The higher apes
have been classified as quadruma ma, or
-four handed because their hin feet are
hand shaped; but this designation is
very improperly applied, because the
apes pOsterior extremlties are not really
hands at all. They merely look like
hands at the first glance. whereas in fact
they are but feet adapted for climbing.
The big toes cannot be opposed to the
other toes as thumbs are to the fin
gers, but simply act pincerWise for the
purpose Of graspine.
Now, funnily enough. the infants feet
have this same power of graspiug pincer
fashion. and the action is performed in
precisely the same way. Advocates OF
evolutionary theories take this TO signify
that theshuman foot was originally util-
lied for climbing trees also before the
species was so highly developed as it is
now Also they assert that the fact that
the art of walking erect is learned by the
child with such difficulty proves that the
race has only acquired 1t recently
