l)roccss he had conceived, i.e., Iiad pictured in his "inner 

 world" of consciousness. 'V\\v ncnnineness of \\\r individual, 

 the personal, the unicjue eharaetei- of mental hfc and nuiital 

 creation can hardl^^ be more strikingly illustrated than by 

 such cases as this of Darwin's when the conce|)tion, the \\\- 

 pothesis, is kept to one's self so h)ni;- in oi'dci- "to prove'' 

 whether it is "true" or not. 



Now I want to call particular attention to the indul)itable 

 fact that these illustrations are oidv extreme manifesta- 

 tions of attributes which are universal in the human animal 

 at least. There is no normal human known to antliropolo^y 

 which has not some measure, no matter how small, ot" creative 

 impulse in art and in science. 



As a conclusion to this presentation of instances I nuist 

 again insist upon one of my cardinal points: that the in- 

 clh'idually active and creative power of the human oi'^anism 

 on its psychical side is not a whit less real, less objective, less 

 a natural phenomenon to the natural historian than is the 

 hidhiduaUij creative power of physical growth and variation, 

 and reflex and tropistic action. Indeed, the thorough-going, 

 consistent zoological naturalist, the substance of whose 

 science is largely animal behavior in all its aspects, can not 

 possibly approve the effort to separate com]iletely the two 

 sorts of creation.
