Darwin—The Origin of Species by Means of Natural
Selection
The main conclusion arrived at in this
work, namely, that man is descended from some lowly organised form, will, I
regret to think, be highly distasteful to many. But there can hardly be a doubt
that we are descended from barbarians. The astonishment which I felt on first
seeing a party of Fuegians on a wild and broken shore will never be {{U}}
{{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}by me, for the reflection at once rushed into
my mind—such {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}our ancestors. These men
were absolutely naked and {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}with paint,
their long hair was tangled, their mouths {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}}
{{/U}}with excitement, and their expression was wild, startled, and {{U}}
{{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}. They possessed hardly any arts, and like wild
animals {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}on what they could catch;
they had no government, and were {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}to
every one not of their own small tribe. He who has seen a {{U}} {{U}}
8 {{/U}} {{/U}}in his native land will not feel much shame, if forced to
{{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}that the blood of some more humble
creature flows in his {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}. For my own
part I would as soon be descended from that heroic {{U}} {{U}} 11
{{/U}} {{/U}}monkey, who braved his dreaded enemy in order to save the life of
{{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}keeper, or from that old baboon, who
descending from the mountains, {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}away
in triumph his young comrade from a crowd of {{U}} {{U}} 14
{{/U}} {{/U}}dogs—as from a savage who delights to torture his {{U}}
{{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}, offers up bloody sacrifices, practices
infanticide without remorse, treats his wives like slaves, knows no decency, and
is haunted by the grossest superstitions.
