What reading level is Destiny of Man Viewed in the Light of His Origin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The action of natural selection upon Man has long since been essentially di- minished through the operation of social conditions. For in all grades of civili- zation above the lowest, "there are so many kinds of superiorities which sever- ally enable men to survive, notwithstand- ing accompanying inferiorities, that natural selection cannot by itself rectify any par- ticular unfitness." In a race of inferior animals any maladjustment is quickly re- moved by natural selection, because, owing to ...the universal slaughter, the highest completeness of life possible to a given grade of organization is required for the mere maintenance of life. But under the conditions surrounding human develop- ment it is otherwise.^* There is a wide interval between the highest and lowest degrees of completeness of living that are compatible with maintenance of life.

Hence the wicked flourish. Vice is but slowly eliminated, because mankind has so many other qualities, beside the bad ones, which enable it to subsist and achieve progress in spite of them, that natural selection — which always works through death — cannot come into play.
