When we had reached this stage in the development of animal life, we found great difficulty in imagining how the chief lines of the higher Invertebrates took their rise from the Archaean chaos of early many-celled forms. keywords: abundant;

These inversions of the motion of the stomach in vomiting are performed by intervals, for the same reason that many other motions are reciprocally exerted and relaxed; for during the time of exertion the stimulus, or sensation, which caused this exertion, is not perceived; but begins to be perceived again, as soon as the exertion ceases, and is some time in again producing its effect. keywords: ---of; absorbed; absorbent; absorption; account; accumulation; accustomed; acquired;

and it will next be for us to consider how far these new facts involve _new_ methods, or require a modification of those with which he is already acquainted. Applying the name of the New Philosophy to that estimate of the limits of philosophical inquiry which I, in common with many other men of science, hold to be just, the Archbishop opens his address by identifying this New Philosophy with the Positive Philosophy of M. Comte (of whom he speaks as its founder); and then proceeds to attack that philosopher and his doctrines vigorously. keywords: able; absence; absolute; abstract; absurd; account; acid; acquaintance; acquainted;

This, as the whole context shows, means that a man in order to be entitled to be heard on the evolution theory, must be willing to renounce his faith not only in the Bible, but in God, in the soul, in a future life, and become a monistic materialist.[46] It is very reasonable that scientific men, in common with lawyers and physicians and other professional men, should feel themselves entitled to be heard with special deference on subjects belonging to their respective departments. keywords: 12mo; 8vo; account; action; activity; address; advocates; agassiz; agency; animals; answer; argument; artificial; assumption; atheism; attention; author; basis; beauty; beings; belief; bible; blind; body; book; büchner; case; causes; certain; change; character; christ; church; class; clear; cloth; common; conclusion; conditions; consciousness; constant; contrivance; control; conviction; course; creation; creative; creator; creatures; d.d; darwin; darwinian; darwinism; dawson; day; dead; death; degree; denial; descent; design; development; different; difficulty; direct; distinct; distinguished; divine; doctrine; doubt; duke; earth; edition; effect; efficiency; end; endowed; eternal; evidence; evolution; evolutionist; existence; explanation; eye; fact; faith; far; favorable; final; fittest; footnotes; force; formation; forms; general; generation; germ; god; good; gray; great; ground; haeckel; henslow; higher; highest; history; human; huxley; hypothesis; idea; important; impossible; individual; infinite; instincts; intelligence; intended; intervention; kind; knowledge; large; laws; library; life; like; little; living; london; long; main; man; manner; materialism; matter; means; mechanical; men; mental; mere; millions; mind; miracles; molecules; monistic; moral; motion; natural; natural selection; naturalists; nature; necessary; necessity; new; objection; old; operation; opinion; order; organic; organisms; organs; origin; page; paper; paul; perfect; period; personal; phenomena; philosophical; philosophy; physical; place; plants; point; popular; power; present; price; primordial; principal; principle; process; production; professor; proof; properties; purpose; question; reason; reference; relation; religion; religious; result; rev; right; science; scientific; second; selection; self; sense; set; short; simple; sir; slight; soul; special; species; spencer; spirit; state; strauss; structure; struggle; subject; substance; supernatural; survival; system; teleology; terms; testimony; theories; theory; things; thought; time; true; truth; und; universe; unknown; variations; varieties; variety; vegetable; vestiges; view; vital; vogt; volume; von; wallace; way; wonderful; words; work; world; years; york cache: 19192.txt plain text: 19192.txt item: #7 of 36 id: 2009 author: Darwin, Charles title: The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection Or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, 6th Edition date: None words: 208990 flesch: 46 summary: In these works he up holds the doctrine that all species, including man, are descended from other species.

CHAPTER VI POSITION IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE; OPINIONS OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES AND SOME LATER BIOLOGISTS De Blainville, a worthy successor of Lamarck, in his posthumous book, _Cuvier et Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire_, pays the highest tribute to his predecessor, whose position as the leading naturalist of his time he fully and gratefully acknowledges, saying: Among the men whose lectures I have had the advantage of hearing, I truly recognize only three masters, M. de Lamarck, M. Claude Richard, and M. Pinel (p. 43). keywords: 1792;

So again, if the chief service rendered to the male by his prehensile organs is to prevent the escape of the female before the arrival of other males, or when assaulted by them, these organs will have been perfected through sexual selection, that is by the advantage acquired by certain individuals over their rivals. keywords: 1837;

(John Wesley) title: The Coming of Evolution: The Story of a Great Revolution in Science date: None words: 41001 flesch: 58 summary: The general feeling of the old geologists with respect to Lyell's opinions was very exactly expressed by Professor Henslow, when in parting from young Darwin on his setting out on his voyage, he referred to the recently published first volume of the _Principles_ in the following terms:-- 'Take Lyell's new book with you and read it by all means, for it is very interesting, but do not pay any attention to it, except in regard to facts, for it is altogether wild as far as theory goes.' Even for geology, the science to which in all his after life he became so deeply devoted, young Darwin conceived the most violent aversion; and as he listened to Jameson's Wernerian outpourings at Salisbury Crags, he 'determined never to attend to geology,' registering the terrible vow 'never as long as I lived to read a book on Geology, or in any way to study the science[96].' keywords: able;

This was especially observed in the case of _rubrinervis_, which is not of such rare occurrence as _O. gigas_, and which it has been possible to study in large numbers of individuals. keywords: able;
