﻿PRIMEVAL 
  MAN. 
  

  

  lowest 
  degree, 
  of 
  barbarism 
  in 
  which 
  they 
  can 
  

   possibly 
  subsist 
  at 
  all 
  — 
  never 
  did 
  and 
  never 
  

   can, 
  unaided, 
  raise 
  themselves 
  into 
  a 
  higher 
  

   condition 
  ; 
  " 
  that 
  even 
  when 
  they 
  are 
  brought 
  

   into 
  contact 
  with 
  superior 
  races, 
  it 
  is 
  ex- 
  

   tremely 
  difficult 
  to 
  teach 
  them 
  the 
  simplest 
  

   arts 
  ; 
  that 
  they 
  " 
  seem 
  never 
  to 
  invent 
  or 
  

   discover 
  anything," 
  because 
  even 
  "necessity 
  

   is 
  not 
  the 
  mother 
  of 
  invention 
  except 
  to 
  those 
  

   who 
  have 
  some 
  degree 
  of 
  thoughtfulness 
  and 
  

   intelligence;" 
  that 
  whatever 
  the 
  natural 
  

   powers 
  of 
  the 
  human 
  mind 
  may 
  be, 
  they 
  

   require 
  to 
  have 
  some 
  instruction 
  from 
  with- 
  

   out 
  wherewith 
  to 
  start. 
  He 
  holds 
  it 
  to 
  

   be 
  "a 
  complete 
  moral 
  certainty 
  that 
  men 
  

   left 
  unassisted 
  in 
  what 
  is 
  called 
  a 
  state 
  of 
  

   nature 
  — 
  that 
  is, 
  with 
  the 
  faculties 
  Man 
  is 
  born
