2 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



The textbooks of science have become very complex 

 and technical and very numerous, so much so that a 

 person in the ordinary busy life has not the time nor 

 inclination to attempt to read up and study them so as 

 to understand the great questions of life. The broad 

 realm of science has been greatly extended in the 19th 

 century. A great number of branches have been. estab- 

 lished by reason of research in different directions. This 

 enormous expansion of the field of knowledge has led to 

 a narrow specialism in many small sections. The exten- 

 sive division of labor has prevented a comprehensive 

 consideration of life as a whole. Each man has kept his 

 mind on his little separate proposition and invented a lot 

 of terms, words and phrases, which he has used in his 

 little one sided work. This has caused a great deal of 

 confusion and misunderstanding. One of the greatest 

 scientists in Germany, Ernest Haeckel, states : "The vast 

 structure of science tends more and more to become a 

 tower of Babel in the labyrinthic passages of which few 

 are at their ease and few any longer understand the lan- 

 guage of other workers." This statement certainly is 

 true and that is one of the main reasons why this book 

 is written. 



There is no reason why a majority of the people should 

 spend their lifetime upon this planet and know nothing 

 or little about this interesting question of life and what 

 it is. In this book I will try to explain my ideas in the 

 very simplest language possible. The language used in 

 almost all the text books is too technical and beyond the 

 reach of ordinary readers. For instance to give the 

 reader an idea of what the subject of life includes, and 

 what I have been reading, I shall outline a few subjects. 



First This whole subject of life is called biology. 

 This includes protistology or the science of single cells ;
