6S THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCES OF 



At a later period the human embryo is provided 

 with a very conspicuous tail, which is consider- 

 ably longer than the rudimentary legs occurring 

 at that period of development, and which Professor 

 Turner has found to be provided with muscles 

 — the extensor, which is so largely developed in 

 many animals, being especially well marked. 



Again, as Mr. Darwin says, " In the embryos 

 of all air-breathing vertebrates, certain glands, 

 called the corpora Wolffiana, correspond with 

 and act like the kidneys of mature fishes;" and 

 during the sixth month the whole body is 

 covered very thickly with wool-like hair — even

 fact that the palms of the hands and the soles

Lastly, Professor Wyman has found that in a
