To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For us who deal, not with the various forms of animal life, but with the various products of human intelligence, the legitimacy of the Comparative Method rests on the well-ascertained similarity of the working of the human mind in all races of men. I have laid stress on the great inequalities which exist not only between the various races, but between men of the same race and generation ; but it should be clearly understood and remembered that these divergencies are quantitative rather than qua...litative, they consist in differences of degree rather than of kind. The savage is not a different sort of being from his civilised brother : he has the same capacities, mental and moral, but they are less fully developed : his evolution has been arrested, or rather retarded, at a lower level. And as savage races are not all on the same plane, but have stopped or tarried at different points of the upward path, we can to a certain extent, by comparing them with each other, construct a scale of social progression and mark out roughly some of the stages on the long road that leads from savagery to civilisation.
