下面是《1767年多兹利年鉴》中对亚当·弗格森博士关于《公民社会史》的文章的评论的摘录，可能会引起人们的兴趣：“许多写过关于人的文章的作者，还有那些最有独创性的作者，一开始就把人看作是动物。.不，特别是一个人已经抛出了他最初是猴子或狒狒的怀疑。(The一位评论家接着说这个理论“太荒谬了，不值得严肃地批评”。
THE following extract from a review in “Dodsley's Annual Register for 1767” of Dr. Adam Ferguson's essay on the “History of Civil Society” may be of interest:— “Many of the authors who have written on man, and those too, some of the most ingenious, have set out by considering him as an animal. … Nay, one in particular has thrown out doubts of his having been originally a monkey or baboon”. (The reviewer goes on to speak of this theory as “too ridiculous for serious animadversion”.)
