To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus, for instance, totake the case of the highest animal, man, his development begins from aspeck of living matter similar to that from which the development of aplant begins. And, when his animality becomes established, he exhibitsthe fundamental anatomical qualities which characterise such lowlyanimals as the jelly-fish. Next he is marked off as a vertebrate, but itcannot be said whether he is to be a fish, a snake, a bird or a beast. Later on it is evident that he is to be a mammal; but not... till stilllater can it be said to which order of mammals he belongs.
Now this progressive inheritance by higher types of embryologicalcharacters common to lower types is a fact which tells greatly in favourof the theory of descent, whilst it seems almost fatal to the theory ofdesign. For instance, to take a specific case, Mr. Lewes remarks of aspecies of salamander--which differs from most salamanders in beingexclusively terrestrial--that although its young ones can never requiregills, yet on cutting open a pregnant female we find the young ones topossess gills like aquatic salamanders; and when placed in the water theyoung ones swim about like the tadpoles of the water newt.
