This observation, however, led natural science to regard human beings as having descended from the ape. The famous natural scientist Thomas Henry Huxley[^5] spoke about it as a great heresy in 1859. This view influenced practically everything he wrote. However, those who recognize spiritual development say: Granted that man, in regard to his external bodily form, is closer to the highest evolved ape, than the latter to the lowest of its own species, it is equally true that a human being who has reached a certain stage in spiritual development is further from the lowest developed human being, than the latter from the highest evolved animal.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIII.
