The Great Hippocampus Question was a 19th-century scientific controversy about the anatomy of ape and human uniqueness. The dispute between Thomas Henry Huxley and Richard Owen became central to the scientific debate on human evolution that followed Charles Darwin's publication of On the Origin of Species. The name comes from the title of a satire the Reverend Charles Kingsley wrote about the arguments, which in modified form appeared as "the great hippopotamus test" in Kingsley's 1863 book for children, The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby. Together with other humorous skits on the topic, this helped to spread and popularise Darwin's ideas on evolution.

  • El debate del hipocampo fue una controversia entre los biólogos británicos Richard Owen y Thomas Henry Huxley sobre la clasificación taxonómica de los humanos en el reino animal. Se desencadenó en Oxford en el verano de 1860, dos días antes del debate Huxley-Wilberforce, en la reunión anual de la British Association for the Advancement of Science (Asociación Británica para el Avance de la Ciencia), cuando Richard Owen, el más eminente anatomista británico, volvió a afirmar que los humanos se distinguen de los demás primates por ciertas peculiaridades morfológicas en la estructura del cerebro, en particular la presencia de un hipocampo menor, y de ahí que constituyan una subclase separada dentro de la clase de los mamíferos. Durante la discusión, Thomas Henry Huxley se opuso a este punto de (es)
  • Die Hippocampus-Debatte war eine Kontroverse zwischen den britischen Biologen Richard Owen und Thomas Henry Huxley über die taxonomische Einordnung des Menschen in das Tierreich. Sie wurde im Sommer 1860, zwei Tage vor der Huxley-Wilberforce-Debatte, auf der Jahrestagung der British Association for the Advancement of Science in Oxford ausgelöst, als der bedeutendste britische Anatom Richard Owen erneut behauptete, dass sich der Mensch von den anderen Primaten durch bestimmte morphologische Besonderheiten im Gehirnaufbau, insbesondere das Vorhandensein eines Hippocampus minor, unterscheide und er eine eigene Unterklasse in der Klasse der Säugetiere bilde. In der Diskussion trat Thomas Henry Huxley dieser Auffassung entgegen und versprach, Owens Behauptung zu widerlegen. (de)

  • Le débat sur l'hippocampe est une controverse entre les biologistes britanniques Richard Owen et Thomas Henry Huxley sur la position taxonomique de l'humain dans le règne animal. Ce débat a eu lieu en 1860, deux jours avant du débat entre Huxley et Wilberforce, à la réunion annuelle de la British Association for the Advancement of Science à Oxford, quand le plus important anatomiste britannique, Richard Owen réaffirma que l'homme diffère des autres primates par certaines particularités morphologiques dans la structure du cerveau, en particulier l'Hippocampus minor et qu'il forme une sous-classe au sein de la classe des mammifères.
