  PRIMEVAL 
  MAN. 
  

  

  many 
  cases 
  of 
  existing 
  barbarism 
  can 
  be 
  

   distinctly 
  traced 
  to 
  adverse 
  external 
  circum- 
  

   stances, 
  and 
  because 
  it 
  is 
  at 
  least 
  possible 
  

   that 
  all 
  real 
  barbarism 
  has 
  had 
  its 
  origin 
  in 
  

   like 
  conditions 
  ; 
  thirdly, 
  because 
  the 
  known 
  

   character 
  of 
  Man 
  and 
  the 
  indisputable 
  facts 
  

   of 
  history 
  prove 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  within 
  him 
  at 
  

   all 
  times 
  the 
  elements 
  of 
  corruption 
  — 
  that 
  

   even 
  in 
  his 
  most 
  civilized 
  condition, 
  he 
  is 
  

   capable 
  of 
  degradation, 
  that 
  his 
  Knowledge 
  

   may 
  decay, 
  and 
  that 
  his 
  Religion 
  may 
  be 
  

   lost.
