As man gradually advanced in intellectual power... His sympathies becomes more tender and widely diffused, so as to extend to man of all races... And to the lower animals - so will the standard of morality rise higher and higher.

~ Charles Darwin 


A great #DarwinDay quote about the moral evolution of humankind. As our species developed, we learnt to form bonds that first applied to our family and kin. 

Over time, our capacity for empathy developed, extending our sympathies to whole tribes, whole nations, whole species - and into the animal kindom.

This was Charles Darwin’s third major work on evolutionary theory and laid out his early ideas about behavioural genetics.

It explored emotions in animals and humans and attempted to work out their evolutionary origins, like why we raise our eyebrows when we are surprised.

The book was quite revolutionary in using biological illustrations and paved the way for future works.

Lol. Mohammed forbids Muslims from having anything to do with dogs. According to him the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog. He claim they are naajis (impure). Makes me wonder why the Arabian God despise such lovely animal like dogs even though he is believed to be the creator of all creatures.

Hahaha! I think the whole place will scatter. The prayers will intensify and if there's holy water and other sacramentals, everything would be unleashed on the poor cat. 😂😂
