Summary "Apes and Monkeys: Their Life and Language" by R. L. Garner is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the physical, mental, and social habits of apes and monkeys, aiming to provide a better understanding of these animals and their communication methods. Through the author's detailed observations and studies, readers can expect to gain insights into the similarities and differences between these creatures and humans. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to the author's extensive research background, highlighting his belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings. Garner emphasizes the importance of recognizing the complex behaviors and potential cognitive abilities of monkeys and apes. He also mentions his unique opportunity to study these animals in their natural habitats, which contrasts with the more common observational practices in captivity.
