In this connection it may be not out of place to conclude with a 
quotation from Fritz Miller :— 
‘“‘ A false conception, when the consequences proceeding from it

and palpable contradictions.” (Opening sentence of chapter ii., 
*« Facts for Darwin.”) 
That is precisely what the “recapitulation theory” has actually 
led to.
