Definition of "Bimana"

The greater number of naturalists who have taken into consideration the whole structure of man, including his mental faculties, have followed Blumenbach and Cuvier, and have placed man in a separate Order, under the title of the Bimana, and therefore on an equality with the orders of the Quadrumana, Carnivora, &c.

Oku faa vahe ae kalasi huhu kihe faahiga e hiva, o behe:— 1. Koe manu nima ua (Bimana) / There are nine things like parts called the classes which have breasts, like so:— 1. The animals with two hands (Bimana)
