to be developed or exist without such informing soul, then we 
should with perfect reason and logic affirm that as no natural 
process would account for the entirely different kind of soul — 
one capable of articulately expressing general conceptions* — 
so no merely natural process could account for the origin of the 
body informed by it — a body to which such an intellectual 
faculty was so essentially and intimately related. 
Dropping now the metaphor of immaterial spirits, it seems 
that the answers supposed to be given by such spirits must be 
the answers really given by sincere and unbiassed investigators 
in the combined spheres of Zoology and Anthropology. 
But however near to Apes may be the body of man, whatever 
the kind or number of resemblances between them, it should 
always be borne in mind that it is to no' one kind of Ape that 
Man has any special or exclusive affinities — that the resem- 
blances between him and lower forms are shared in not very 
unequal proportions by different species ; and be the preponder- 
ance of resemblance in which species it may, whether in the 
Chimpanzee, the Siamang or the Orang, there can be no question 
that at least such preponderance of resemblance is not presented 
by the much vaunted Dorilla, which is no less a brute and 
no more a Man than is the humblest member of the family to 
which it belongs. 
* ‘‘ It is not emotional expressions or manifestations of sensible impres- 
sions, however exhibited, which have to be accounted for, but the enuncia- 
tion of distinct deliberate judgments as to ‘ the what,’ ‘the how,’ and ‘the 
why,’ by definite articulate sounds ; and for these Mr. Darwin not only does 
not account, but he does not adduce anything even tending to account for 
them.” “ Quai-terly Keview,” July 1871. Article, “ The Descent of Man,”^
