"We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man
with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most
debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to
the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has
penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system-
with all these exalted powers -- Man still bears in his bodily frame the
indelible stamp of his lowly origin."
C. Darwin, Descent of Man, Part II
