“Any speculation and conclusions pertaining to human behavior drawn on the basis of Darwinian evolutionary theories … must be treated with the greatest caution and reserve.” “A less discriminating section of the public may enjoy reading about comparisons between the behavior of apes and man, but this approach — which by the way is neither new nor original — does not really lead us very far.” “Apes after all, unlike man, have not produced great prophets, philosophers, mathematicians, writers, poets, composers, painters, and scientists. They are not inspired by the divine spark which manifests itself so evidently in the spiritual creation of man and which differentiates man from animals.”
