Lecturing on evolution, Professor David said the 500,000,000 years which had elapsed since the Cambrian period represented only about one-tenth of the time' that life had existed on earth. On the evolution-hypothesis, the beginning of life here went back to something like 5,000,000,000,000 years.—(A. and N.Z.)
