414 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



tricity for both offensive and defensive purposes. We 

 find the cell employing all these blind forces also before 

 he discovered the advantages of social life and while he 

 was living the life of the savage. We see the cell living 

 the single separate life of the savage today and we see him 

 make darts and arrows. We see him go hunting for his 

 food. We see him begin the social life as in the Volvox 

 and sponges. We see him develop social habits. We 

 see him finally in the highly organized colonies of cells, 

 such as plants and animals. We see him in this highly 

 organized social state build antlers on the deer. We see 

 him build the fly traps on plants. We see him tear down 

 and dismantle the caterpillar and with the same material 

 build a flying machine we call butterfly, and we see him 

 paint the wings and body of his flying machine, so as to be 

 able to deceive all his enemies. We see him do all these 

 things and we are forced to the conclusion that if man is 

 intelligent so is the cell. We are forced to the conclusion 

 that if man produced his various structures by reason of 

 intellect, then the cell also produced his analagous struc- 

 tures by reason of intellect. There can be no distinction.
