Charles Darwin

The difference in mind between man and the higher animals, great as it is, certainly is one of degree and not of kind. -Charles Darwin, naturalist and author (1809-1882)

This can only be an expression of opinion, hinted at by the use of the word certainly, but because of the author's stature it is likely to taken as a statement of scientific fact.
