DCP-LETT-10194

From:
Friedrich Max Müller
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
13 Oct [1875]
Source of text:
DAR 171: 286
Summary:

Sends CD his answers to W. D. Whitney’s articles. Sees man as separated from other animals by the possession of language. There is no scientific evidence for even the slightest attempt at language in the higher animals, which cannot, therefore, be reasonably regarded as "stunted man". [See "In self-defence", Chips from a German workshop 4 (1875): 473–549.]
