...position on the list of Harvard's territorial outposts is accorded the Yerkes Laboratories of Primate Biology, not because it is necessarily less important than the others, but because it is operated in cooperation with a Connecticut university of somewhat dubious repute. Its two laboratories, containing living quarters for anthropoid apes and monkeys, are situated on a tract of nearly 200 acres about 15 miles from Jacksonville, Florida. The facilities of the Laboratory, manned by graduate students of Harvard and Yale, are devoted to the breeding and study of anthropoid apes and other primate species. Rumor has if that...
...never see a deer get burned in a forest fire," commented Frank (Bring 'Em Back Alive) Buck, who thinks the horse is pretty dumb anyhow. He rates the intellectuals of animaldom as 1) elephants, 2) anthropoid apes, 3) dogs...
...weird, glowering embryonic gobs whose lumpy lines suggested the random patterns of molten slag, Lipchitz's bronzes showed writhing subhuman and sub-animal figures.

...study in the wild of social behavior among man's closest relatives, the anthropoid apes, was released last week by Psychologist Clarence Raymond Carpenter of Pennsylvania State College.

There are the same devil-take-the-hindmost sea-battles, the same villainous intrigue, but fortunately a little less slush than the Flynn-Marshall combine dished out. Victor Mature, the anthropoid from "One Million B. C." and Bruce Cabot spend most of the picture fighting like mad over a little minx named Losise Platt. Opinions differ as to whether Miss Platt is worth fighting over, but she can certainly...
