WHAT EVOLUTION IS 37 



cussing this question years ago, each 

 animal in its development climbs its 

 own ancestral tree. 



The facts associated with the law 

 of recapitulation are quite meaning- 

 less from the standpoint of special 

 creation, but from that of descent 

 with modification they receive a simple 

 and adequate interpretation. A de- 

 veloping animal shows temporary re- 

 semblances to lower forms, because 

 these forms represent steps in its 

 ow^n racial history.
