What reading level is The Natural History of the Human Species; Its Typical Forms, Primeval Distribution, Filiations, And Migrations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
strong-jawed mastifis. Smith, moreover, classes the dogs according to their apparent affinities with wild originals in neighboring latitudes, — the Arctic dogs with the wolves ; south of INTRODUCTION. 85 the Equator there being no wolves, he refers the dogs in the Old World to the jackal, &c., in the New World to the Aguara fox dogs.
We have been thus particular on the subject of the dogs, as they have been triumphantly appealed to as arguments in favor of the unity of the human races ; they ce...rtainly show little positively in favor of this view, and much negatively against it.
But, even among animals, there is a very great difference in their capacity for variation, which renders any argument that might be drawn from them of little value. The mouse, for instance, shows very little disposition to change, in color or form ; the brown rat df Persia, now spread over the world, very nearly preserves its original type. According to Dr. S. G. Morton, (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sciences, Phil., April, 1850,) the reindeer of Lapland do not change in the slightest particular after long domestication ; the peacock has not varied for thousands of years.
