﻿CHASM 
  BETWEEN 
  MAN 
  AND 
  ANIMALS.

  the 
  Gorilla, 
  when 
  we 
  place 
  no 
  such 
  value 
  on 
  

   the 
  sixty-eight 
  cubic 
  inches 
  which 
  lie 
  between 
  

   the 
  Hindu 
  and 
  Sir 
  Isaac 
  Newton, 
  we 
  are 
  but 
  

   accepting 
  the 
  evidence 
  of 
  Nature 
  — 
  following 
  

   where 
  she 
  leads, 
  and 
  classifying 
  according 
  to 
  

   her 
  award. 
  

  

  The 
  bearing 
  of 
  this 
  conclusion 
  on 
  the 
  

   Origin 
  of 
  Man 
  is 
  simply 
  this, 
  that 
  in 
  

   proportion 
  as 
  the 
  difference 
  between 
  Man 
  

   and 
  the 
  lower 
  animals 
  is 
  properly 
  appreciated 
  

   in 
  the 
  light 
  of 
  nature, 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  proportion 
  

   will 
  the 
  difficulty 
  increase 
  of 
  conceiving 
  how 
  

   the 
  chasm 
  could 
  be 
  passed 
  by 
  any 
  process 
  

   of 
  Transmutation 
  or 
  Development. 
  

  

  This 
  difficulty 
  is 
  still 
  further 
  increased 
  if 
  

   we 
  advert 
  for 
  a 
  moment 
  to 
  the 
  direction 
  in 
  

   which 
  the 
  human 
  frame 
  diverges 
  from 
  the
