ert would hardly balance that of being able to climb trees. (P.F. 143.)] [Footnote 71: Cf. P.F. 151.] [Footnote 72: M.S. 180.] [Footnote 73: "A wide gap which has never been bridged over." (Huxley, P.F. 150.)] [Footnote 74: But cf. M.S. 181. "Attempt after attempt has been made to find some fundamental characters in the human brain, on which to base a generic distinction between man and the brute creation." (P.F. 149.)] [Footnote 75: Cf. "It is probable, therefore, that this (drill-friction) was the original mode of obtaining fire, but if so it must have required a good deal of intelligence and observation, for the discovery is by no means an obvious one." (M.S. 204.)] [Footnote 76: P.F. 153.] [Footnote 77: P.F. 135.] [Footnote 78: "The inference, therefore, to be drawn alike from the physical development of the individual man and from the origin and growth" [as though he had explained their origin] "of all the faculties which specially distinguish him from the brute creation, ... all point to the conclusion that he is the product of evolution." (M.S. 210.) "Man ... whose higher faculties of intelligence and morality are _so clearly_ ... the products of evolution and education." (M.S. 182.)] [Footnote 79: H.O. 260.] [Footnote 80: M.S. 48.] [Footnote 81: P.F. 17.] [Footnote 82: P.F. 17, 18. "The conclusion is therefore certain that the land at this particular spot must have sunk twenty feet, and again risen as much so as to bring the floor of the temple to its present position, &c. Similar proofs may be multiplied to any extent.... In fact the more we study geology the more we are impressed with the fact that the normal states of the earth is and always has been one of incessant changes." (M.S. 35--9.)] [Footnote 83: i.e., Lyell says: Present causes could give these effects, given the time. Laing says: Therefore, since they have given these effects, we must suppose the time.] [Footnote 84: P.F. 18] [Footnote 85: P.F. 74.] [Footnote 86: Ibid.] [Footnote 87: P.F. 20.] [Footnote 88: M.S. 34, 41.] [Footnote 89: P.F. 6.] [Footnote 90: P.F. 23.] [Footnote 91: M.S. 46.] [Footnote 92: P.F. 24.] [Footnote 93: P.F. 32.] [Footnote 94: P.F. 66.] [Footnote 95: "Thus giving to palaeolithic man no greater antiquity than perhaps about 20,000 to 30,000 years, while, should he be restricted to the so-called post-glacial period, the antiquity need not go back further than from 1
