Huxley states that he is sending Dunn a copy of his paper on the brain of Ateles paniscus Proc. Zool. Soc. London 1861 which contains full details of "transverse" convolutions found in the brains of the great majority of the apes and which in the higher members of that group are exceedingly well developed. He adds that the equivalent part of the brain in carnivores has not been fully compared with that in primates. The article formed part of the longstanding debate between Huxley and Richard Owen over Owen's classification of mammals 1857 in which Owen argued primate brains; his demonstration that man must be zoologically be considered one of correspondent was a surgeon with a strong interest in the human brain and mind; he was the author of several works on psychology anthropology ethnology etc. Any ALS from Huxley discussing brain comparative anatomy is rare. Robert Dunn was an eminent surgeon with a strong interest in brain and mind. Huxley's paper on the paper "On the Brain of tge Ateles" was important in providing definitive evidence that man's brain does not contain any unique structures not present in the brains of Apes thus disproving Owen's theory. He cites this work in his major work Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature. unknown books
