To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the third place the evidence seems to preponderate in favour of_permanency of species_. There can be no doubt that both plants andanimals may, by the influence of breeding, and of external agentsoperating upon their constitution, be greatly modified, so as to giverise to varieties and races different from what before existed. Butthere are limits to such modifications, as in the different kind andbreed of dogs; and no organized beings can, by the mere working ofnatural causes, be made to pass... from the type of one species to that ofanother. A wolf by domestication, for example, can never become a dog, nor the ourang-outang by the force of external circumstances be broughtwithin the circle of the human species.
In this opinion Mr. LYELL, Dr. PRICHARD, and Mr. LAWRENCE, concur. Thegeneral conclusion at which they have arrived is, that there is acapacity in all species to accommodate themselves to a certain extent toa change of external circumstances; this extent varying greatlyaccording to the species.
