ANIMAL ANATOMY

MODERN RESEARCH. Darwin would have abandoned his dream of a single great genealogical tree for all species of animals if he had lived to sec the later advances in animal anatomy, says Dr. Albert Fleischmann, professor of comparative anatomy at Erlangen (Bavaria.) Uni-

A natoniical research, he says, has not confirmed Darwin’s theory of man’s evolution from the ape, yet evolutionists still search for ancestors in the graveyards of the past. Scientists of to-day had classified approximately 1,900,000 animal species which could not have developed from one genealogical tree. On the contrary, the niiscroscope showed that all ianimal structure had developed from special layers, recalling the annual rings in He added that investigation of the marvel whereby a fertilised egg half a millimetre (one fiftieth of an inch) in diameter grows into tin. adult would be far more profitable than unverified guesses at genealogical changes in I extinct species of which only frag-lir.-onts of skeletons remain. Living

bodies could not be regarded as Uie results of little accidents.
