DCP-LETT-8515

From:
Chauncey Wright
To:
Charles Robert Darwin

Source of text:
DAR 181: 171
Summary:

Discusses the mental powers and habits of animals and considers that those of man are not separated from those of animals by any sort of fundamental barrier; the gulf seems formidable only from a self-conscious, human point of view. Man’s important distinction is his greater ability to act and respond independently of external stimuli, in consequence of his internal accumulation of personal experience.
