; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, as every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed, and the road to truth is often at the same time opened. From this point of view, the hypothesis of evolution appears to us to present enormous advantages over any that has been yet advanced. A multitude of heretofore isolated facts become, on this hypothesis, suddenly invested with a significance and a meaning

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 1 THE DESCENT OF MAN. The publication of fresh book by Mr. Charles Darwin, on the Descent of Man, naturally leads one to serious reflections concerning his ancestry. One would link that the development of man from sponge, or spore, or polyp, should be styled an ascent rather than descent. But Mr. Darwin evidently prefers, as an Englishman, to consider the question as one of pedigree rather than of evolution. There are great many families in

light. He maintains at the same time that the ape has been developed by a continuous process out of the lowest known form of animate, or at the least vertebrate life. The evolution of man from an ape is but the last step in the series. To say, therefore, that Mr. Darwin asserts the development of man from a monkey is as imperfect a statement of the theory as to say that he asserts our development from savages. The theory, fully stated, is no less than this: that man, the wonder and glory of the

of Evolution found everything ripe for it. This is shown by the well-known fact that Mr. Wallace arrived at the same conclusion as to the origin of species while working in the Eastern Archipelago, and scarcely less so by the manner in which the theory has been worked out by men so distinguished as Mr. Herbert Spencer and Prof. Haeckel. But it was known when the Origin of Species was published, that instead of being the mere brilliant hypothesis of a man of genius, of which the proofs were to be

Should anyone be disposed to overlook the original value of Mr. Wallace's work, he will be corrected by a somewhat similar passage in the present volume. See pp. 137, note, and 416. [page] 44

, known, but until recently they told us nothing with respect to the origin of man. Now when viewed by the light of our knowledge of the whole' organic world their meaning is unmistakable. The great principle of evolution stands up clear and firm when these groups of facts are considered in connexion with others, such as the mutual affinities of the members of the same group, their, geographical distribution in past and present times, and their, geological succession. It is incredible that all

character of enormous and painful improbability by any amount of that preparatory exercise in cognate speculations on which Mr. Darwin relies. Even had it been rendered highly probable, which we doubt, that the animal creation has been developed into its numerous and widely different varieties by mere evolution, it would still require an independent investigation of overwhelming force and completeness to justify the presumption that Man is but a term in this self-evolving series. There are some

, in order that we may be able to account for the production of known kinds of animals and plants, it requires to be supplemented by the action of some other natural law or laws as yet undiscovered; also, that the consequences which have been drawn from evolution, whether exclusively Darwinian or not, to the prejudice of religion, by no means follow from it, and are in fact illegitimate.

He says, In attempting to trace the genealogy of man lower down in the series, we become involved in greater obscurity.

The second was Mr Maine's 'Ancient Law,' which impressed on all who read it a profound sense of the value of the historical method of studying questions regarding the nature and condition of man.

they have no moral sense. To those who believe that conscience is a unique faculty, the difficulty must, no doubt, be considerable of imagining by what steps it could have been developed. Rather it must have come all at once, uno ictu, as a divine inspiration, and could not have been elaborated, since it is itself elementary and incapable of being analysed or resolved into simpler components. At this point, therefore, a naturalist, who accepts the theory of evolution, is compelled to leave, for a

claims to have brought man himself, his origin and constitution, within that unity which he had previously sought to trace through all lower animal forms. The growth of opinion in the interval, due in chief messure ot his own intermediate works, has placed the discussion of this problem in a position very much in advance of that held by it fifteen years ago. The problem of evolution is hardly any longer to be treated as one of first principles; nor has Mr. Darwin to do battle for a first hearing of

the theory of evolution as enounced by Mr. Darwin to sink the ideas of moral right or virtue into a mere kind of retrieving, a blind fetching and carrying, so to say, in obedience to the animal sense of utility, which, traditionally impressed upon the young, has grown into an organized code of enlightened selfinterest. According to Mr. Darwin's latent view, the moral sense is in its nature founded upon something wholly distinct from that form of selfishness on which philosophers of the
