  Man 
  is 
  the 
  latest 
  work. 
  

   Recent 
  discoveries 
  have 
  thrown 
  no 
  doubt 
  on 
  

   this, 
  but, 
  on 
  the 
  contrary, 
  have 
  all 
  tended 
  

   to 
  confirm 
  it: 
  I 
  know 
  of 
  no 
  one 
  moral 
  or 
  

   religious 
  truth 
  which 
  depends 
  on 
  a 
  short 
  

   estimate 
  of 
  Man's 
  antiquity. 
  On 
  the 
  contrary, 
  

   a 
  high 
  estimate 
  of 
  that 
  antiquity 
  is 
  of 
  great 
  

   value 
  in 
  its 
  bearing 
  upon 
  another 
  question 
  

   much 
  more 
  important 
  than 
  the 
  question 
  of 
  

   time 
  can 
  ever 
  be 
  — 
  viz., 
  the 
  question 
  of 
  

   the 
  Unity 
  of 
  the 
  Human 
  Race. 
  We 
  must 
  

   indeed 
  be 
  very 
  cautious 
  in 
  identifying 
  the 
  

   interests 
  of 
  Religion 
  with 
  any 
  interpretation
