Explore "General Summary" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We are very slightly changed / From the semi-apes who ranged / India's prehistoric clay; / Whoso drew the longest bow, / Ran his brother down, you know, / As we run men down today.
"Dowb," the first of all his race, / Met the Mammoth face to face / On the lake or in the cave, / Stole the steadiest canoe, / Ate the quarry others slew, / Died -- and took the finest grave.
