From:
St George Jackson Mivart
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
22 Apr 1870
Source of text:
DAR 171: 186
Summary:

Is not prepared to express an opinion on man’s origin. On pure anatomical grounds he would form a family of the higher division of the primates, but if man’s intellectual, moral, and religious nature is considered, then "he differs more from an Anthropoid Ape than such an Ape differs from a lump of granite".
