Chief Means of Defense Among All Old
world Apes,
Among all old world apes the teeth
are the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats for
mates or tribal supremacy. The CANNES
are III most cases enormously developed,
insomuCh that Ill informed naturallsts
must exist between the primates and
the carnivora. As matter of fact, these
formidable teeth have nothing to do
with alimentatiCE, but are as purely
weapons of war as are the bayonet and
the maxim gun. In practically every
emergency demanding unusual energy,
obstinacy and courage they come into
play.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the devil--as such things are
understood in pitheCoid suciety--the
temporal and masseter muscles are the
chief arbitcrs Of war To become great
and powerful anthropoid il is absolute.
ly and brutally necessary TO have a
large and strong jaw, to give firm at
tachmeut to the teeth and good Leverage
to the muscles. That for an immense
epoch our prehuman ancestors achieved
success in life in like manner is as clear
as the print of Maya TO those who
have learned to read natures handwTlt'
ing.
Since those days Of true Arcadian
simplicity our life has become bewilder-
ingly complex, and our methods for set
Ting social difficulties have changed
generally for the better But here, as IN
so many other instances, the habits OF
past age have left an indelible impress
on the nervous system. -Blackwood 5
