The general idea thar our enormous
advances in science and command over
nature serve az demonstrations Of our
mental superiority TO the ucu Of ear
Her ages Is totally unfounded. Tie
evidence Of history and u the earliest

our intellectual and moral nature has

In the second place We find mat the
supposed great mental Infcriority OF
sayages is equally unfounded. The
more they are sympathetlcaiiy studied
the more they are found to resemble
ourselves in their inherent intellectual
powers.
Even the so long desplsed Australian
savages, almost the lowest in material
progress, yet show by their complex
language their social regulations aud

Instinct Is the generic term for all!
those faculties Of mind which lead to
the performance Of actions that are
adaptive IN character, but pursued
without necessary knowledge Of the re-

TO those actions that are adaptive In
