Surgical and Anatomic Evidence of Evolution.

I PROPOSE in this addless to approach evolution, not fromii the controversial side or fromll general arguments, but from a plain statemen1t of a series of facts, mnany of themn drawit from my personal experieinee as a sur-geon ancd anatomnist-facts which, to imiy mind, absolutely demonstrate the solidaiitv of animial life, more especially in the ease of the vertebrates, such as fislh, birds, other imainiials an(l imaii, the Iighest mnammal. Many opponients of evolution admiiit the gradual (levelopuient of animal life fr om its lowest formii up to anid including the anthropoid apes, but they dIraw the line there, basing this blelief on the accounit in Genesis. Man, thev insist, stan(. as a separate dir ect creationi by the Almighty, "out of the dust of the ground." Such an argument is like declaring that the laws of mathematics reign in numbers up) to, say, 100,000 or 1,000,000, but bevond that linmit are no longer valid.
