Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) copperplate engraving going by its first genus name "Simia",from Schreber's "Die Saeugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" (The mammals in accordance with illustrations of nature with descriptions). The book,often known as Schreber's Fantastic Beasts" was published and printed by "Wolfgang Walther" in Erlangen/Germany,1775-1785. The common chimpanzee was named Simia troglodites by Linnaeus just a year or so before this print was made. Lorenz Oken moved it to the new genus Pan in 1816 and the Genus name Simia which Linnaeus created in 1758 has been supressed. 'Troglodyte' means "cave-dweller" | |
