Beston--"we need another and wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals... We patronize them for their incompleteness..." Perhaps you could say that Darwins theory is one of these concepts that we are needing to explain nature. As humans we are curious beings; we want to know why. Isn't evolution an incredible idea. It is facinating. Why should we patronize animals for their incompleteness. I see them as a part of each of us. I feel we all have some connection. I do not think of Darwins theory as a way to patronize animals. I see it as a way to explain the mystery. To help understand an ultimate question? Who are we??
