By LEMUEL F. PARTON.

I
In the proceeding chapter of this
series the five main contentions with
which the evolutionists support their
- theory were given. The first of
' these was given as the record of
.‘ fossil remains. These fossils are
found in various geological strata,
.which‘. according to geologists may
be placed fairly accurately in time.
Jhus giving. according to this inter-
;,‘ pretation. a sequential story of the
- evolution of life. The following out-
line. roughly. the main case of the
evolutionists:
. Fossil remains recording a tiny
,worm on a slab of the Proterozoic
.era was accepted as the earliest
known‘ record of animal life. They
estimate that this sea worm was {ml-
.. bedded in the slab about 800 million
years ago. This is the beginning of
the story.
The age of the trilobites came
next—about 750 million years ago.
, according to the evolutionary chron-
ology. The trilobitb was a small.
shrimp-like creature. and. the evol-
utionists say. was for millions of
years the highest form of life on'the
'. planet. This was the beginning of
5 ’the Paleozoic era, which also includ-
’g _ ., led the age of fishes, about 500 mill-
6. "ion years ago. It was in this age
what the sea scorpion evolved into
the land scorpion, this marking the
. beginning of land animals.
A New Model.
The age of coal. about 340 million
years ago. is an important chapter
in the story of evolution, as here we
'dnd sweeping adaptations by am-
vphibian animals, living partly on
land and partly in water, with the
appearance of the first lizards.
‘With the age of reptiles, 250 mill-
.‘ ten years ago. Nature announced an
attractive new structural model.
:Having found that the “exo~skele-
$11." or hard outer shell of the
:crsbs and mollusca was not adapt-
Iabls to a changing environment the
Titled putting the skeleton on the in-
. side, and brought on the first or the
. ,_-vsrtebrates. This was also the age
.30! the Ammonite, the ancestor of
:the chambered nautiius. This nge
umarks the passage into the Mesozoxc
-ora. '
The succeeding Tertiary and
SPleistocene eras. was the great ice
"a, lasting about 1, 000, 000 years.
Inbout 70 million years ago. It was
like age of mammals, and the fossil
-remains of this period reveal the
leull B the "ape man" of Ju\ a.
”The foregoing is the barest out-
line of the story, as the evolutionists
.piece it together from the fossils
' found in the rocks. Libraries could

" ~ ouch chapter of this story and, res

It .the'validity of the conclusions, it is
‘ doubtless true that more painstak-
.ing work has been devoted to the
. study of this supposed sequence of
] ,llfe than to any other branch of
Icientiflo investigation.
The work of tracing the ascent
from the extinct egg-laying mam-
m'nls to man was much more diffi-
‘cuit. as it embraces much shorter
geologicaiepochs and hence lacks
the record of the rocks. From the
, ‘munmals there was one branch to
primitive hoofed animals, from
gwhiim were derived. in 'one line, the
‘mam'moths, contemparary with the
early cave man. and in another line,
the tiny three-teed horse. or eohip-
pus. 11 inches high-«the ancestor of
‘ .ithe modern horse and giraffe.
=‘Monkey Ancestor A Distorted Viewi;
.‘ Th ‘ ewas another branch to
‘ prim! clawed animals. from
4‘. which descended in one line the
L, dog-cat animals. and in the other
whee-dwelling fruit-eating gnimals.
“ One of these was the tiny lemur.
’Evolutlonists are frankly in doubt
as to whether this creature may be
considered as having been in the di-
rect line of the ancestry of man. The
,, rw weightlest opinion is that the lemur

Ed“, ’
of man. In new of this conclusion
that man is the outcome of a great
convergence of life forces, reaching
out and withdrawing in millions of,
tentative forms, tracing irnck to the
primordial protoplasm. or stuff of
life, in the ancient sea. the head-
line emphasis on the monkey is seen
to be a distortion of the evolution-
ary theory.
The second contention of‘the evo-
lutionists—that new species of
plants and animals have actually
been produced. is positively affirm-
ed by the proponents of the theory
and as stoutly denied by the oppo-
sition. While the results obtained by
Luther. Burbanll and many others,
in achieving new species are indis-
putable. it is contended that these
mutations do not occur in nature.
and that. even if they do. they hays
no bearing on the origin of man.
This is still one of the great con-
troversies of evolution, and if the
Judge at Dayton allows argument on
the fundamentals of the doctrine of
evolution there will no doubt be
much heated discussion on this
point. it involves too many technic-
al considerations to admit consider-
ation here.
Embryo Reveals History Of Man.
The third point. concerning sur-
vivals of once useful organs. is one
of the main bulwarks of the‘theory
of evolution. In addition to the
pineal gland, previously mentioned.
they cite the finger nails, as relics
of the claws of animals; muscles
that enable one to twitch the ears.
occasionally surviving; The eustach-
lhn tube, relic of the gills of fishes:
the appendix, the rudimentary relic
of the extra. stomach of ruminating.
wood-eating animals; the bones of
the tall, at the‘bnsc of the spine:
bones of the foot. still retaining
somewhat the same structure as the
bones of the hand; the toes still re-
taining some of the power of grasp-
ing.
The fourth consideration~that
pro-natal development parallels or~
ganlc evolution has become what
might be termed it part of the or-
thodoxy of evolution. although its
later application to post-natal de-
velopment as summarizing racial
and tribal stages has been vigorous-
ly attacked, even by scientists. Ac-
cording to evolutionists, the pro-
gress from a one-celled organism.
merely a tiny bit of protoplasm, to
the multicollular organisms, is by
an accretion of cells, what a later
localization of functions. This pro-
cess. they say, is exactly paralleled
in the first stage of the growth of
an embryo. There is multiplication
of cells, by direct cell division. un-
til the whole, at a stage called the
dastoccic. resembles a tiny, worm-
like sea-dwelling creature, with in
lnvaginntlon marking the beginning
of the digestixe tract. A few days
later, the embryo resembles a fish.
later a reptile and still later a young
calf or pig. The beginning of I
heart in an unborn child is a
straight tube, open at both cTTdS. t‘.\~'
nctly like the heart of tho lancelct.
the wormlike ancestor of the fishes.
Later it has three chambers like the
hearts of the reptiles. At the last
stage, it acquires the four chambers
found in the hearts of man and of
the other mammals. At one stage.
the human embryo has gill slits still
retained. Later it has an external
movable and muscled tail. like the
tails of monkeys. In the growing
embryo. the first kidney is in the
neck, where the kidney still is in
worms. The later kidney develop-
ment parallels that of frogs and am-
phibians. with the final appearance
of the true kidney.
For their fifth “proof," touching
on the survival in man of earlier
animal conduct. thegevolutionists
have found strong support in the
researches of such scientists as Jac-
ques Loeb, Crile. Chile, Child and
Herrick. who, while they have done
much important work in the chem-
ical mechanics of the life process s.
have failed to find an answer to t e
insistent question of why. rather
than how. these evolutionary chan~
ges occur.
