208 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



other, the larger on the smaller. At the base of all is the 

 barely visible primordial cell, who is organized into the 

 cells that build us and all living things we see. It is the 

 intelligence of man that directs the actions of battleships, 

 railroad trains, cities and nations, and it is the intelligence 

 of the cell that directs the actions of man, animals, and 

 plants. 



I could go on indefinitely illustrating these matters, 

 that the size of brain or number of cells in the brain does 

 not increase the intelligence. The increase in numbers 

 gives the power to specialize in more different kinds of 

 thinking. It is clear that every line of thinking must have 

 its special committee of thinkers to take care of it. But 

 as the thinkers are cells and one can think as well as the 

 other, it is clear that the business in hand will be taken 

 care of as well in one case as in the other, whether it is 

 one cell or a million. The intelligent acts of the cell living 

 its single and separate life, clearly proves that fact. I be- 

 lieve that I have demonstrated what must be understood 

 by intelligence. It is a quality based on memory and pos- 

 sessed by the individual, who builds all organic life, the 

 being we call cell. So far we' can clearly see and under- 

 stand life, at this time. Some day we shall understand 

 it still better.
