EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The Anthropomorpha of Linnaeus," depicts an early impression of the Orangutan as it was understood in the nineteenth century. The image, created by the Dutch naturalist and physician Nicolaas Bontius in 1658, was later published in Thomas Huxley's seminal work "Evidence as to Mans Place in Nature" in 1883. At the time, the Orangutan was a subject of great fascination for scientists and the public alike, as it straddled the line between human and animal. The Orangutan, a great ape native to Southeast Asia, is a member of the Hominidae family, which also includes humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas. This primate is part of the superfamily Hominoidea, which also includes Gibbons and humans. As a placental mammal, the Orangutan is part of the order Primates, the class Mammalia, and the subclass Theria, which includes all eutherian mammals. The Orangutan is a haplorhine primate, meaning it has a naked face without a tail, and is part of the subfamily Ponginae. This illustration, with its human-like features, reflects the early understanding of the Orangutan as a kind of "missing link" between humans and apes. However, modern scientific research has shown that the Orangutan is more closely related to humans and other great apes than to monkeys. Despite the misconceptions of the past, this illustration remains an important historical document in the study of anthropology and primatology. It offers a glimpse into the early impressions of one of the world's most fascinating and enigmatic creatures, the Orangutan.
