The Bible and Darwin agree that man was created last of all the animals.
Very superficial observation will convince you that man contains in his mental make-up all of the "inferior" animals, or at least a great many of them.
You, Mr. Jones, or Smith, who read this are in your single self a sort of synthesis of the entire animal creation.
If you could be divided into your component animal parts there would be a menagerie in your house, and you, Smith or Jones, would be missing. That thing we call a "soul" would be floating around, impalpable, looking for its house to live in. ——
Of course, you can see the animal make-up in your neighbor more readily than in yourself.
How do men describe each other? Do they not speak as follows, and mean exactly what they say
"He is as sly as a fox."
"He eats like a pig."
"He has dog-like faithfulness."
"He is as brave as a lion."
