…for, as regards reason or good sense…is the only thing that makes us human and distinguishes us from brute beasts…(Descartes, Notes on Method)

…that the physical features of man are equally transmissible with those of brutes. 
(Galton, Hereditary Talent and Character)

The word “brute” holds the categories “human” and “animal” in dynamic tension, without reducing either one to the other; it marks the existence of what Du Bois termed a tertium quid, a third thing. (Walter Johnson, Brute Ideology)
