  PRIMEVAL 
  MAN. 
  

  

  our 
  own 
  time 
  Professor 
  Owen 
  holds 
  the 
  same 
  

   opinion. 
  Professor 
  Huxley, 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  

   hand, 
  has 
  undertaken 
  to 
  prove 
  that 
  the 
  

   anatomical 
  differences 
  between 
  the 
  human 
  

   frame 
  and 
  the 
  frame 
  of 
  the 
  Gorilla, 
  or 
  Chim- 
  

   panzee, 
  are 
  not 
  such, 
  either 
  in 
  kind 
  or 
  in 
  

   degree, 
  as 
  to 
  justify 
  this 
  wide 
  distinction. 
  

   But 
  he 
  specially 
  limits 
  this 
  conclusion 
  to 
  the 
  

   differences 
  of 
  physiology, 
  and 
  confesses 
  that, 
  if 
  

   in 
  defining 
  Man 
  we 
  are 
  to 
  take 
  into 
  account 
  

   the 
  phenomena 
  of 
  Mind, 
  there 
  is 
  between 
  

   Man 
  and 
  those 
  beasts 
  which 
  stand 
  nearest 
  to 
  

   him 
  in 
  anatomy, 
  a 
  difference 
  so 
  wide 
  that 
  it 
  

   cannot 
  be 
  measured 
  — 
  an 
  " 
  enormous 
  gulf" 
  — 
  

   "a 
  divergence 
  immeasurable" 
  and 
  "practically 
  

   infinite." 
  But 
  this 
  last 
  conclusion 
  is 
  really 
  

   incompatible 
  with 
  the 
  first. 
  There 
  is 
  an
