Did Darwin own apes?

I'm just wondering if Darwin owned any apes or not?

A simple google search would have answered your question far faster than any posters on this board could of.

What exactly does this topic have to do with Creation and Evolution?

Isn't that question better suited for Google? He didn't own slaves, if that's what you're asking.

Is that a YES or NO?

As I understand it, the theory of evolution was stagnant, until Darwn wrote The Preservation of Favoured Races, which espoused the idea that man came from the apes of the Galapagos Islands (or something like that).

His 'natural selection' provided the breakthrough technology to get evolution moving again.

Owning apes is such a bother. It's hard to get a clear title, then there is the insurance, maintenance and licensing fees. Better to rent apes or at most hold a long term lease.

But Solomon, an Old Testament scientist, did.

He had apes imported for study, and concluded that [prescient] evolution was nothing more than an invention of man:

Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

You're right I forgot about upkeep!

However, to answer your question I would guess Darwin didn't own any apes. I know on the voyage of the Beagle, he brought back many specimens, but I don't think he brought back any sort of primate.

Okay, thanks.

I don't think he did either; I just want to be sure.
