It shows us
how man's body may have been developed from that of a lower animal form
under the law of natural selection; but it also teaches us that we
possess intellectual and moral faculties which could not have been so
developed, but must have had another origin; and for this origin we can
only find an adequate cause in the unseen universe of Spirit.

[Footnote 231: It has been recently stated that some of these facts are
erroneous, and that some Australians can keep accurate reckoning up to
100, or more, when required. But this does not alter the general fact
that many low races, including the Australians, have no words for high
numbers and never require to use them. If they are now, with a little
practice, able to count much higher, this indicates the possession of a
faculty which could not have been developed under the law of utility
only, since the absence of words for such high numbers shows that they
were neither used nor required.]
