Till it leave behind its apehood, and its daily load of fears, ❋ Unknown (2010)
It is disappointing that Dr. Rama chandran is serially unfaithful to the initial vision he presents, of humans as a species that "transcends apehood to the same degree by which life transcends mundane chemistry and physics." ❋ Raymond Tallis (2011)
Dr. Ramachandran's way with brain research is particularly evident in his extended discussion of mirror neurons, the current darlings of pop neuroscience, which he describes as "the key players in our transcendence of apehood." ❋ Raymond Tallis (2011)
Almost five years separate me from my apehood—a period that is perhaps short if measured on the calendar, but infinitely long when one gallops through it, as I have done, accompanied for stretches by excellent people, advice, applause, and orchestral music, yet basically alone, for in order to remain in the picture, anyone accompanying me kept far away from the barrier. ❋ Franz Kafka (2000)
Frankly, much as I like to use images for these things, your apehood, gentlemen, insofar as you have anything of that nature behind you, cannot be more remote from you than mine from me. ❋ Franz Kafka (2000)

Hence it is greatly to be desired that some scientific evolutionists should thoroughly explore those regions, investigate the manners and customs of the Yahoos with the enthusiasm of a true Darwinian, and minutely describe those interesting features which would enable us to decide whether they are monkeys progressing to manhood, or men brutalizing into apehood; but which Mr. Gulliver's lack of scientific enthusiasm for evolution prevented him from closely examining. ❋ Robert Patterson (1857)
To such depth have _I_, the poor knowing person of this epoch, got; -- almost below the level of lowest humanity, and down towards the state of apehood and oxhood! ❋ Thomas Carlyle (1838)
And this distraction will be the more insistent, the more knowledge the reader has and the more he remembers; and since Stevenson's first appeal, both by his spirit and his methods, is to the cultured and well read, rather than to the great mass, his "sedulous apehood" only the more directly wars against him as regards deep, continuous, and lasting impression; where he should be most simple, natural and spontaneous; he also is most artificial and involved. ❋ Unknown (1871)
I have sometimes thought 'the numbers' of the elect have been really fulfilled, and that the rest of us are left to gibber away an existence back into an apehood which we now recognise as our real primitive type.” ❋ Paul, Herbert (1905)
I have sometimes thought 'the numbers' of the elect have been really fulfilled, and that the rest of us are left to gibber away an existence back into an apehood which we now recognise as our real primitive type. " ❋ Unknown (1894)
