182 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OP EVOLUTION 



animals are instinctive, emotional and impulsive and are 

 not caused by intelligence and reason. 



As man is an animal and performs as marty instinctive 

 acts as any other animal, we can easily clear up some of 

 the mysteries. 



We will take the mating instinct, to begin with. Every 

 one is well acquainted with the male desire for the exclu- 

 sive possession of a certain female. This desire comes 

 on at about seventeen or eighteen years of age. Before 

 that time he had not the slightest desire for the possession 

 of, nor even the company of females, he preferred rather, 

 the company of the male sex. At this age also peculiar 

 masculine features appear, such as the beard, extra mas- 

 culine developments and change of voice. This change 

 also takes place in other animals. From whence comes 

 this desire? 



Nothing in the world seems more perfect in form, sweet 

 in disposition, and beautiful of face than this particular 

 female, to which he happens to take a fancy. Heaven on 

 earth seems to be in sight, by obtaining possession of her. 



Now who and where are the parties who seem to be 

 continually arguing this proposition to him? He seems 

 to believe and feels fully convinced of these facts, so much 

 so that it is almost impossible to demonstrate or prove 

 to him anything to the contrary. We know now that the 

 beings who are responsible for these opinions and ac- 

 tions are the cells who have the matter in charge of 

 building a new human being. These cells of the body 

 who have in charge the work of perpetuating themselves 

 and the human race, which is after all the most important 

 work of all, are called sex organs. We know now if 

 these are removed, no desire for the female will arise. 



What method do these cells of the sex organs e'mploy to 

 make him(the brain cells) feel and believe that to marry a
