GENESIS OF MAN, INTELLECTUALLY 



godlike intellect evidently will not apply here. 

 If the emotions of the German and his intellec- 

 tual perceptions of the fitness of harmonious 

 sounds for expressing emotion are so deep and 

 subtle and varied as to result in the produc- 

 tion of choruses like those of Handel and sym- 

 phonies like those of Beethoven, on the other 

 hand the crude emotions of the Australian are 

 quite adequately expressed by the discordant 

 yells and howls which constitute the sole kind 

 of music appreciable by his undeveloped ears. 

 We look in vain here for traces of the keen aes- 

 thetic sense which in a measure links together 

 our intellectual and moral natures. Again, if 

 the American student has been known to be 

 actuated by such noble ethical impulses and 

 guided by such lofty conceptions of morality 

 as to leave his comfortable home and his fa- 

 vourite pursuits, and engage in rough warfare, 

 at the risk of life and limb, solely or chiefly that 



present, or if any were still missing. She kept puzzling and 

 running her eyes over them, backwards and forwards, but could 

 not satisfy herself. She evidently had a vague notion of count- 

 ing, but the figure was too large for her brain. Taking the two 

 as they stood, dog and Dammara, the comparison reflected no 

 great honour on the man. ' * Galton, Tropical South Africa, 

 p. 132, cited in Lubbock, Origin of Civilization y American 

 Edition, p. 294. See also Tylor, Primitive Culture y vol. i. 

 pp. 218—246. Probably the dual number, in grammar, 

 ** preserves the memorial of that stage of thought when all 

 beyond two was an idea of indefinite number.'* Id. p. 240.
