THE EPIC OF EVOLUTION 529 



who truly desires to be informed on the question at hand, and whether the 

 facts alleged be sensible, visible, or not, must be bound either to look for 

 himself or take on trust the conclusions to which they have come who have 

 looked, and indeed there is no higher method of attaining to assurance and 

 certainty." 



In conclusion this whole section of the theoretical aspects of biology 

 is well epitomized by Dr. A. D. Mead. 



"The centuries of biological research could not change the order of nature. 

 The increased knowledge may not even mean greater wisdom in handling 

 knowledge. It may not, perhaps, though it ought to, make men more sensi- 

 tive to the wonder of it all. But it has thoroughly involved man in the 

 laws that govern plants and animals in general, and has deeply altered our 

 conception of what those laws are."
