The lower animals, like man, manifestly feel pleasure and pain, happiness and misery. Happiness is never better exhibited than by young animals, such as puppies, kittens, lambs, &c., when playing together, like our own children.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The lower animals, like man, manifestly feel pleasure and pain, happiness and misery. Happiness is never better exhibited than by young animals, such as puppies, kittens, lambs, &c., when playing together, like our own children." in the context of "Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871), volume I, chapter III: "Comparison of the Mental Powers of Man and the Lower Animals — continued", p. 39." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
