lo evolution: the ages and tomorrow 



laws that may be learned in an ever-closer study of the 

 over-all evolutionary process. As the record seems clearly 

 to indicate, without the use of the awareness and intelligence 

 that the evolutionary process is seeking, the process itself 

 remains a bhnd, uncertain gamble. Man must turn to nature 

 and face up squarely to whatever the reality may be, even 

 though it may mean that he must control the number and 

 quality of his own kind, that he must give up his inherited 

 superstitions and wickedly willful delusions, his dogma, and 

 his psychological blind spots. He must know himself and 

 nature, of which he is a part. Surely he need not always be 

 a "cow'rin, tim'rous beastie," not daring to face up to the 

 cosmic plowman.
