THE DOGMA OF EVOLUTION 



bryos of different types of animals as the blur of the 

 film rushes by ; just as, by careful winking of the eyes, 

 we can see a spoke of a fast revolving wheel stand 

 out as if it were stationary. But such transitory and 

 evanescent glimpses cannot serve as guides to unravel 

 the enormously complex phenomena of evolution 

 which stretch back into the unconscious abyss of 

 time, nor give us any clue to the picture which will 

 represent the future form of man.
