A Barbary Macaque monkey identified as "Ein Aff" (An ape). Woodcut with old colouring. Gesner "Icones Animalium" publ. Christof Froschover,Zurich,1560. The division between tailed and tail-less being the origin of the historical (pre-scientific) division between 'monkeys' and 'apes'.

The Barbary Macaque (Macaca sylvanus) is the only primate whose range includes Europe,and hence was one of the best known in early times | |
