People in this country think it too horrible that man should
come up from an animal.
Why?
What will be the end of these millions of animals?
Are they nothing? If we have a soul, so have they, and if they have none,
neither have we. It is absurd to say that man alone has a soul, and the animals
none.
I have seen men worse than animals.
The human soul has sojourned in lower and higher forms,
migrating from one to another, according to the Samskaras or impressions, but
it is only in the highest form as man that it attains to freedom.
- Swami Vivekananda, Jnana-Yoga , US
