Passage 8 Mankind has undoubtedly progressed since medieval time, the earliest man lived Ilike brutes. Individuals fought among themselves and the strong destroyed the weak, for that is the law of the jungle, the law of irrational life. But man was not an animal. He possessed rational faculties. These faculties gradually developed and appeared in his actions, and man gave up the law of the jungle and evolved his own rational laws. Men saw that the law of physical strength was not applicable to their lives. They realized that they had souls and the strength of a being with a soul can consist in a variety of capabilities other than the power to hack and hew.and tear. For instance, a man can be strong in reasoning tools, or in controlling the action of other rational beings by the power of song or speech. Thus, men realized that they should not be fighting among themselves but should be working together and giving one another opportunities to use their respective strengths. This was the first step in man s progress. By this means, men gained such control over the force of nature and made each other so much wiser and more comfortable that they were convinced that they were the best creation of God. (a) How did the earliest man live? (b) What is the law of the jungle? (c) What was the difference between man and animals? (d) What did man learn to do when his reason was developed? (e) What is the duty of man as the best creation of God?
