Anatomy, metaphysics, and values: The ape brain debate reconsidered (1994)

unapi

Description “Conventional wisdom teaches that Thomas Huxley discredited Richard Owen in their debate over ape and human brains. This paper reexamines the dispute and uses it as a test case for evaluating the metaphysical realist, internal realist, and social constructionist theories of scientific knowledge.” From the abstract.
