Man only gradually acquired the ability to stand erect, and slowly acquired a language, in which the better observers could communicate to the duller ones. But the time he gave to the vague ideas he may have had concerning the supernatural cause of phenomena, did not aid him in acquiring these important functions. It was the ...exertion of all his natural energy in the direction of natural laws, and material things pal- pable to his senses, that accomplished these changes.

But if, as seems more probable, the mind is the aggregation of feelings resulting from the sensations aroused by objective realities in the environment, and has been evolved in, and of, and with the body alone, by the evolution of matter, in the form of nerves as numerous as the pores of the body, as multitudinous as the arteries and veins, then, it at once becomes apparent that it is not an entity ; that it is as absolute- ly impossible for the mind to control nature, or rise independent of its laws, as it is for the body to exist 286 PHYSICAL BASIS OP MIND AND MOHALS without material sustenance.
