Dear Hasan,
During Abdu'l-Baha's time there were people who believed there was
a 'missing link' from which man descended from the apes which

Dear Ron,
I'm not thinking of early primates in general, I'm thinking more

I don't think the diferences between men and animals are only spiritual, that's why I asked why the Maester compared the memory of a pigeon with man. Are you saying human soul can act in a chimpanzee or an octopus?I think men were always men; we are of a different order, as we are
