ISBN: 9780521545334 - the metaphysics of apes: negotiating the animal-human boundary (21 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Metaphysics of Apes, first published in 2005, traces the discovery and interpretation of the human-like great apes and the ape-like earliest ancestors of present-day humans.
