And I'll hold a little green snake by the tail just as long as you will, so there!" Man-like, Romeo hated tears. "Shut up, Jule," he said, not unkindly, "and we'll arbitrate." When her sobs ceased and she had washed her face in cold water, they calmly argued the question at issue.
"Those which er would make up the er legend, 'Marvelous Man-Like Monster," drawled Average Jones. "Then you know the Farleys," said the print man. "The Flying Farleys?" said Average Jones. "They used to do ascensions with firework trimmings, didn't they? No; I don't exactly know them. But I'd like to." "That's another matter," retorted Mr. Hollins, annoyed at having betrayed himself.
I had the inspiration, however. Anyhow, man-like, I am broad minded enough to proclaim that it doesn't very much matter. Man and wife are one. She thinks they are one wife. I know they are one husband. Between speculation and knowledge why so futile a thing as a quarrel? I proceed therefore to my originally self-appointed and fantastic task.
Mayfield replied: "Yes, and they peeped at one another in their heavenly nest until the sun, man-like, came and spoiled it all." Jasper and his wife looked at each other, knowingly in the eye; and then the old man said: "I beg yo' pardon, ma'm, but you must have had trouble.
The order includes the femurs, a large and primitive family with ape-like features the Germans call them "half-apes" the monkeys, the man-like apes, and man. This classification according to structure corresponds with the successive appearance of the various families in the geological record.
Of course the line that divides man from the lower orders is not a straight line. It has many breaks and curves and deep indentations. The man-like apes, as it were, mark where the line rises up into the domain of man. Furthermore, the elephant and the dog, especially as we know them in domestication, encroach upon man's territory.
See where our youthful, god-like brother rideth, his brow as gloomy as his hair is bright " "Ah," muttered Roger, "he grieveth yet for Beda the Jester and he but a Fool!" "Yet a man-like fool, methinks!" quoth the archer. "But for our tall brother now, he is changed these latter days: he groweth harsh, methinks, and something ungentle at times."
At any rate she's a great man of a woman; can swear like a trooper if things don't go right. She's got the old man completely cowed." "Am I to infer that cowing her spouse and swearing outrageously makes her man-like?" I laconically inquired.
The Gibbons are the smallest, slenderest, and longest-limbed of the man-like apes: their arms are longer in proportion to their bodies than those of any of the other man-like Apes, so that they can touch the ground when erect; their hands are longer than their feet, and they are the only Anthropoids which possess callosities like the lower monkeys. They are variously coloured.
If we further suppose that this primitive being extended the range of his hunting, from insects and small or dead birds to small land-animals, the stimulation would be all the greater. In a word, the very fact of a change from the trees to the ground suggests a line of brain-development which may plausibly be conceived, in the course of a million years, to evolve an Ape-Man out of a man-like ape.
