Baby's Foot is Like Monkeys

Washington Star.
How many people have ever tax
ing notice of a baby's foot, except to
admire it's pin ckness and prettyness?
said a we'll known scientist. And
vet to the anatomist is a revelation.
Take for example, the tootsies of g
child of 10 months that has never
walked are stood alone. 1t has q
power of grasping to some extent and
is used distinctively like hand.
The great toe has certain iDdepen-
dent working, like thumb, and the
wrinkles of the sole resemble those
of the palm. THESE markings almost
entirely disappear after the pedal ex.
tremity has come to the employed for
purposes of support and locomotion.
The hands and feet of a human
being are strikingly like those Of the
chipanZee in conformation, while the
gorilla's resem blance to man in these
respects IL even more remarkable.
The higher apes have been classified
as quadrumana, or four-handed, be-
cause their hind feet are hand shaped
but this designation is very improp-
erly applied, because the apes pos
terror eXtremities 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 can not be
opposed to the other toes as thumbs
are to the fingers, but simply act
pincerwise for the purpose Of grasp
ing.
Now, funnily enough, infants feet
have this same power of grasplng
pom Der fashion, and the action is per-
formed in precisely the same way.
Advocates If evolutionary theories
take this to signify that the human
foot was originally utilized for climb
ing trees also before the species was
