Excerpt from The Evolution of Mind

A recent student of zoology has urged that, in our selection of the distinctive marks of species, we should pay no less attention to mental differences than to variations in bodily structure. The adoption of this test might not appreciably alter the general scheme of zoological Classification, but it would draw attention to a peculiar feature of the human species. The vast majority of the authorities have always maintained the specific unity of mankind. Fresh efforts are made in our day to disrupt it, at least with reference to the earliest prehistoric re mains, but to most anthropologists it still seems that the differences between curly-haired and straight haired, or between Paleolithic, Neolithic, and modern races, are not sharp and deep enough to constitute distinct species.
