Civilization might, loosely speaking, be counted as a sort of domestication, in that it imposes on man conditions not at all typical of wildlife. It might then at least be argued that it is a false analogy to compare man to a wild animal, but that he should rather be compared to one which has been domesticated. I shall maintain that this analogy is false, and that man is and will always continue to be essentially a wild and not a tame animal.
