THE SINGLE STEM

OF HUMANITY'S GROWTH DARWIN|SIVI TODAY

LONDON, June 5. Darwin, would , have abandoned hii dream of a single great genealogical tree for all species of animals if ho had lived to see the later advances in animal anatomy, saysl Dr. Albert Fleiselunann, professor of comparative anatomy at tho Erlangen University, Bavaria, ..' Anatomical research, he says, has not confirmed Darwin's theory of man's evolution from the ape, yet evolutionists still search for. ancestors in tho graveyards of the past. Scientists of today had classified approximately 1,000,000 animal species which could not have developed from one genealogical tree. On the contrary, the microscope showed that all anijjial structures had developed from special layers, - recalling tho annual rings in trees. .

Living bodies could riot be regarded as the insults of littlo accidents./ ' '~''".
