Bible | Ape an animal of the monkey tribe (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chr. 9:21). It was brought from India by the fleets of Solomon and Hiram, and was called by the Hebrews _koph_, and by the Greeks _kepos_, both words being just the Indian Tamil name of the monkey, kapi, i.e., swift, nimble, active. No species of ape has ever been found in Palestine or the adjacent regions. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Ape is a common, yet rather imprecise, name for some animals of the order Primates. Its earliest meaning was a tailless (and therefore exceptionally human-like) non-human primate, but as zoological knowledge developed it became clear that taillessness occurred in a number of different and otherwise unrelated species.
Modern scientific usage includes as apes the families Hylobatidae (6 species of gibbons and the siamang), which are known as lesser apes, and the family Pongidae or great apes, consisting of Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla), Chimpanzees (common chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes and bonobos, Pan paniscus), humans (Homo sapiens), and Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus). Chimpanzees, gorillas, humans and orangutans are all more closely related to one another than any of these four genera are to the gibbons and siamangs. On cladistic grounds it is correct to include humans in the Pongidae, and most scientists now do this - the family would otherwise be paraphyletic. Some authors adopt the alternative of including the great apes in the family Hominidae, which is the grouping for humans and their extinct ape-like ancestors, while others use a subfamily to separate the hominids from the extant non-human apes. Current evidence implies that humans share a common, extinct, ancestor with the chimpanzee/bonobo line, from which we separated more recently than the gorilla line. All living members of the Hylobatidae and Pongidae/Humanidae are tailless, and humans can therefore accurately be referred to as bipedal apes. However there are also primates in other families that lack tails.
The apes are a group within the infra-order Catarrhini that also includes the Old World monkeys of Africa and Eurasia. Apes can be distinguished from monkeys by the number of cusps on their molars (apes have five - the "Y-5" molar pattern, monkeys have only four in a "bilophodont" pattern). Apes have more mobile shoulder joints and arms, ribcages that are flatter front-to-back, and a shorter, less mobile spine compared to monkeys. These are all anatomical adaptations to vertical hanging and swinging locomotion (brachiation) in the apes.
The original usage of "ape" in English may have referred to the baboon, an African monkey. Two tailless species of macaque are commonly named as apes, the Barbary Ape of North Africa (introduced into Gibraltar), Macaca sylvanus, and the Sulawesi black ape or Sulawesi crested macaque, M. niger.
Except for gorillas and humans, all true apes are agile climbers of trees. They are best described as omnivorous, their diet consisting of fruit, grass seeds, and in most cases small quantities of meat (either hunted or scavenged), along with anything else available and easily digested. They are native to Africa and Asia.
Most ape species are rare or endangered. The chief threat to most ape species is loss of tropical rainforest habitat, though some populations are also imperiled due to hunting for bushmeat.
Cultural aspects
The intelligence and humanoid appearance of apes are responsible for legends which attribute human qualities; for example, apes are sometimes said to be able to speak but refuse to do so in order to avoid work. In India, apes are considered helpful (see, for example, Hanuman). They are also said to be the result of a curse -- a Jewish folktale claims that one of the races who built the Tower of Babel became apes as punishment, while Muslim lore says that the Jews of Elath became apes as punishment for fishing on the Sabbath. Christian folklore claims that apes are a symbol of lust and were created by Satan in response to God's creation of humans. None of these references would distinguish apes in the same way as modern biology does.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Ape."

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | OPERA, n. A play representing life in another world, whose inhabitants have no speech but song, no motions but gestures and no postures but attitudes. All acting is simulation, and the word simulation is from simia, an ape; but in opera the actor takes for his model Simia audibilis (or Pithecanthropos stentor) -- the ape that howls. The actor apes a man -- at least in shape; The opera performer apes and ape. |
