用测力计来测量黑猩猩（主要是雄性和雌性）的力量，并将其与大学运动员的力量进行比较。按重量比较，女子双手牵引力是运动员的2.51 ~ 4.73倍。男性的单手拉力是其3.85-4.78倍。雌性的两只手拉力是1260磅；男性单手拉力为847磅。在讨论中得出的结论是，人类在力量上的排名高于有蹄类、甲虫和蚂蚁，但可能低于食肉类和灵长类动物。以黑猩猩为例的证据表明，骨骼中各种肌肉附着脊和凹陷的相对发育并不能可靠地表明个体的力量，因此，对尼安德特人的力量所作的推断可能并不完全可靠。摘要作者：鲍曼
A dynamometer is described by means of which the strength of chimpanzees, chiefly a male and female, was measured and compared with that of college athletes. The 2-hand pull of the female was 2.51-4.73 times as great as that of the athletes when compared according to weight. The 1-hand pull of the male was 3.85-4.78 times as great. The 2-hand pull of the female was 1260 pounds; the 1-hand pull of the male was 847 pounds. It is concluded in the discussion that man ranks in strength above the Ungulata, the beetle and the ant but probably below the Carnivora and the Primates. Evidence in the case of the chimpanzee indicates that the relative development of the various muscle attachment ridges and pits in the bones is not a trustworthy indication of the strength of the individual and that, therefore, inferences so made concerning the strength of the Neanderthal man may not be fully reliable. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: J.
