Till about the middle of the present century, mind was almost universally held to be po e ed by none of the inferior animals; any apparent intelligence on their part was attributed to instinct. Herbert Spencer led the way in introducing new views on the subject. Availing himself not merely of the metaphysicians' chief mode of inquiry, his own consciousne , but of the facts accumulated by physicists and physiologists, he considered that in the case of each animal organism on earth, from the humble monad to man, there is an ince ant interaction between the organism and its environment; a continuous adjustment of its internal to its external relations, the magnificent human understanding itself having resulted from their interaction or adjustment carried on through limitle declared that the intellect and even the moral ages. Following in the same direction, Darwin powers of man did not differ in kind, though very greatly in degree, from the rudiments of them exhibited by the lower animals. Not denying the latter instincts, he sought to establish that they had reason too, and that the superiority was the result chiefly of natural selection carried on through schools of thought have their warm advocates. cosmic periods of time.
