Placental Mammals. A. Man. B. Quadrumans . . C. Chiropters. D. Carnivores . . . E. Insectivores. F. Ungulates . . . G. Rodents. H. Mutilates ... I. Edentates. A. MAN. Has the incisor, canine, and molar teeth even, con- tiguous ; molars equally enamelled ; incisors four in each jaw. Feet five-toed, anterior limbs furnished with five-fingered hands ; nails all fiat, broad. Gait erect. Placenta deciduate, discoidal. Man is distinguished from all animals by his moral and rea- soning faculties, but,... anatomically, the distinction between man and the lower animals is much less than his moral and intellec- tual superiority would lead us to expect. He possesses an erect gait, such as is unknown even among the highest monkeys, and this circumstance sets free his hands to minister to his intellectual wants, instead of being used as instruments of locomotion. The articulate speech of man, based upon the universal laws of gram- mar, is the simplest exponent of his reason ; and through means of speech man possesses traditions and a history, and becomes capable of progressive improvement in civilization.
