The difference in functionality between an owl:Restriction and an rdfs:range
is that an rdfs:range applies globably to a property, whereas a restriction
is local to the class being defined.

So, in this case, the "hasParent" property is restricted to Humans _for
Humans_ and presumably to Monkeys for Monkeys, etc.
