In Other Animals

Chimpanzees have lower limbs that are specialized for manipulation, and (arguably) have fingers on their lower limbs as well.

Famous quotes containing the word animals:

    “The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)
