EVOLUTION

The Maze of Species

By Hensiiaw Ward

March, 1928

THERE is one simple reason why a non-scientist may find it hard to believe the evolution theory: he knows nothing about the infinite number of variations within the species of plants and animals. He supposes that a "species" of animal is a fixed, clean-cut depart- ment of life which can always be identified; he sup- poses that the difference between an animal and a plant is a definite and impassable barrier; he supposes that a "species" of plant is a peculiar sort of organism which a botanist can always recognize.

But the truth is just the opposite: it is difficult to draw a dividing line between plants and animals; most spe- cies have variant forms that link them with other spe- cies; within every widely-distributed species there are endless variations. The biologist has to believe in evo- lution because he finds that every flourishing family of organisms is a maze of interlaced forms which would be a disorderly nightmare if it were not for an evolu- tion tlieory.

I will present some illustrations from botany.*

How many kinds of mosses have you ever heard of? If we had never seen but ten kinds, we could rest with the supposition that they were originally created so; but when we learn that there are sixteen thousand spe- cies of these inconspicuous growths and that the more common of the species have varieties that grade off in- sensibly into varieties of other species, then we can not be content with any such guess at the cause. The more a botanist becomes familiar with the countless varieties of plants, the more certain he feels that he is dealing with some sort of continuous growth of the whole system of organisms. A few dozen different ferns would never have excited a Wallace or a Darwin to cudgel his brains for an interpretation of nature: but the four thousand five hundred species that botanists now know might well cause an inquisitive mind to lie awake at night.

There are about one hundred thousand species of this lower division of plants. Of the higher division, the flowering plants, there are more than one hundred and thirty thousand species. Some of the items that make up the total are five thousand grasses, one thousand palms, two thousand lillies. seven thousand orchids, one thou- sand two hundred cactuses.

More significant than mere numbers is the way in which plants unlike in appearance are found to be alike in their anatomy and way of growing, so that kinds which are very dissimilar in all outward appearance are found to have inwardly a decided family resemblance. Thus elm trees, fig trees, nettles and hops are found to have such similarity in their flowers that they belong together. The figs include such apparently unlike plants as the rubber tree, the banyan and a vine-like parasite. In an-

other great group the botanists have been obliged to lump together geraniums, flax, oranges, mahogany and castor beans, because they are similar in their ways of propa- gating. The scientists have no desire to do queer things; they would much prefer to say that rubber trees and milk- weeds are alike because of their milky sap; simpli- city has always been their aim. But nature has made it impossible for them to find any simple way of classifying. It is as if she had strung the most diverse forms on one thread of structure, and had then so looped and tangled the thread that the botanists are taxed to their wits' ends to straighten it out in anything like orderly sequence. Wlien a man has labored for thirty years at this effort to untangle related forms, he comes to think of plant life as a labyrinth, and he demands a clue. What will guide him? His work would be easier if he could dis- cover that all the crisscrossing forms were originally created as distinct kinds of organisms, but the opposite conviction is continually thrust upon him namely, that all plant life has forever been altering in character, put- ting out changes here, there and everywhere.

The puzzle would not amount to much if a species were always a species if, for example, a certain kind of pine tree were everywhere the same. But within any species there may be endless variations, some of them amounting to striking differences.

An illustration is a certain small grass growing com- monly in the United States and Europe, Draha verna. When samples of this are gathered from different parts of the world, it is found that there are many distinct types no less than two hundred have been counted, each of which will breed true from seed. Each of these types, the so-called "varieties", might be called a species. Any naturalist who cares to cultivate the varieties can breed new ones; he can, as it were, watch the plant branching out into new forms. A botanist in Amsterdam once counted seven hundred varieties of hyacinths. It is esti- mated that American florists have caused fifty species of irises to branch out into one thousand five hundred dis- tinct varieties, that they have developed as many forms of roses, and that there have been produced in the gar- dens of the world no less than eight thousand varieties of roses. The great Dutch botanist De Vries says of hawkweed :

"Thousands of forms may be cultivated side by side in botanical gardens, exhibiting undoubted differentiat- ing features, and reproducing themselves truly by seed."

What shall a naturalist conclude after he has spent studious decades in watching these ceaseless fluctuations of countless forms of plant life? What shall he think when he takes stock of this medley of life, this un- mapped chaos of contradictions and relationships? He has no chart or compass until he adopts the evolution theory; with it he can always steer a course.

The earth has her boundaries, but human stupidity has no limits. Gustave Flaubert.

Logical consequences are the scare-crows of fools and the beacons of wise men. Thos. Huxley.

Thomas H. Huxley and Peter Kropotkin

By Alexander Goldenweiser

THE advent of evolution was like the explosion of a bombshell in a hostile camp. The adherents of the doctrine of the immutability of species, the representa- tives of orthodox theology, all those among scientists, laymen and clergy alike who had vested interests in these doctrines, were up in arms. Once more dogma and complacency were shaken unto their very foundations.

In an emergency such as this courage, energy and en- thusiasm were needed to take up the cudgels for the new- doctrine. These qualities were possessed to a remark- able degree by Thomas H.i Huxley, eminent biologist in liis own right, friend of Charles Darwin and Her- bert Spencer. He took up the fight where Darwin had left it. Eminent divines and silver tongued prime minis- ters like Gladstone presentlv found their biblical quota- lions and oratorical fire- Ijrands countered by uncom- promising facts from the biological laboratory butt- ressed by logical rigor. Huxley was a fighter. What Darwin had done in his Descent of Man with cau- tion and timidity, Huxlev did in his Mans Place In Nature, an outspoken and merciless pamphlet, in which he brought together the evidence of comparati\e anatomy, embryology and physiology, to the eflfect that man was but the last link in the animal chain, that

the differences between man and the anthropoid apes the gorilla, chimpanzee, orang-utang and gibbon were slighter than those separating the anthropoids from the monkeys. There was no gainsaying these carefullv mar- shalled facts. In his Darwinian essays, given as lectures to groups of workingmcn. Huxley was spreading the new doctrine among the wider groups of the semi-educated.

At the fighting front caution is thrown aside and limit- ing "huts" and "ifs" are easilv forgotten. This hap- pened in the case of evolution. The doctrine of natural selection as sponsored by Huxley, assumed the character of a struggle to the death in nature, a struggle of tooth and claw, in which the weaker perished and the victors

survived over the dismembered bodies of their victims. Darwin had never intended to emphasize the struggle element to such an extent, especially not the feature of its ferocity. But the picture drawn by Huxley had dra- matic appeal and it was taken up by less scrupulous popularizers who distorted it still further. From that time on the biologically inspired doctrine of struggle, in which the weak perished and power conquered, ex- ercised a sinister influence on sociological and political thought as. for example, in the doctrines of Cumpto-

wics and his disciple Ralz- enhofer, the Austrian socio- logists. The struggle of men and nations for survival, for conquest, was but a sequel of that vaster struggle al- ways carried on in nature in the form of natural selec- tion.

This exaggeration of the Darwinian theory was coun- tered by Peter Kropotkin. anarchist, geologist and am- ateur biologist, in his fas- cinating book Mutual Aid in Evolution. In die pages of this remarkably detailed and erudite study, Kropot- kin pointed out that the other factor in biological prog- ress, a factor lost sight of in the Darwin-Huxley the- ory, was co-operation, mut- ual aid. Through co-opera- tion weaker animals such as wild horses, asses and goats, managed to survive and multiply in the face of the depredations of their more powerful preying foes. Kro- potkin also made the important point that the "struggle"' was not so much between species and species, as it was of animals against nature, physical environment, cliniale. and that it was in this latter kind of struggle that the fit- ter survived. Not satisfied with having demonstrated ihe importance of mutual aid in the animal kingdom, Kro- potkin carried his researches further into the field of primitive society and thence to the cities of medie\al Europe and modern workers' co-operatives. Kropotkin's well documented and brilliant book serves as a necessarv counter-poise to the one sided distortions of the original Darwinian doctrine.

How Man Differs From The Ape

By Bernhard J. Stern II. PSYCHOLOGICALLY

<< A RE apes and monkeys our poor relatives?"' asked

*■• Doctor R. R. Marett, the English anthropologist in a recent lecture. His answer: "I think myself that it would be snobbery to deny it."

It has been a common feature of such snobbery to glo- rify man and his abilities and achievements at the ex- pense of the anthropoids. Various unique abilities and powers have been attributed to man that are also present among our poor relatives. And when one reads Koeh- ler"s The Mentality of Apes and Yerke's Almost Human one comes to the conclusion that these relatives are not as poor as we have thought them to be.

For example one hears repeatedly that "man is the only tool-using animal''. Anyone that knows anything at all about the behavior of the apes will deny this. Put some bananas beyond the reach of a chimpanzee and have a stick in the vincinity and you will observe how quickly the bananas will disappear in the stomach of the animal. The ape will use a box, a pole, even the back of a man to get some coveted bananas that are too high for him to reach. He also uses straws and twigs for spoons and for catching ants.

"But," says the reader who has been raised in the con- ceit that he alone can use tools, "Is not man the only tool making animal?" Not even that is man's unique ability. Koehler indicates effectively how the ape too creates tools. The outstanding instance is that when an ape broke off a branch of a bush and used it to obtain his food. No more can we use that dramatic but hack- neyed opening sentence of the legend of man "That moment when our primitive forefather broke a brancli from a tree and made it into a club he became human."

There are wide psychological implications in the man- ufacture of the tool described "above. It dispels another

of the unique powers attributed to man that of abstract thinking. For to perceive tlie possibilities of a stick in a bush is to distinguish between a part and a whole which is an advanced type of abstract thought. And of course, the use of tools of any sort implies purposeful thinking, that is, directing behavior for a certain end.

Memory is another of man's supposed attributes which the ape is thought not to possess. But this too is in- correct. Careful observation and experiment has proven that the ape does remember and even associates uncon- nected objects, as for example where a stick was put twelve hours previously in order that he might get some bananas outside his reach that are particularly tempting to him at the moment.

The greatest and most popular conceit of man in re- gard to the apes is man's idea that the ape apes him. Apes do not ape anything they do not understand or com- prehend. When a man makes a fool of himself before the ape's cage at the zoo, he is deceiving himself if he thinks that the ape is performing any antics that he would not do were the man not there. The acts which were thought to be an imitation of man are performed by apes who have never encountered a Homo Sap.

What then is the distinguishing feature between man and the ape? It is the fact that man has an articulate language. The ape has this only in a very rudimentary form. Learned recognized thirty-two sounds or elements of speech relating to food, drink, to other animals and persons. But man's well developed articulate language which is itself a learned trait, has enabled him to trans- mit and accumulate knowledge from generation to gen- eration. Through it he has been able to build a culture which has enabled him to transform his environment and which in turn transforms him.

"Is This Me?"

By GicoRt-E A. DoRSEY

SEX is biologic; it has a natural history like the bones of our body, or the cells of our brain. Civilization is quite another affair human history writ large. Man can mould, change, alter, destroy civilization, but sex and human nature are in the blood, part of our natural inheritance. To understand ourselves and our civiliza- tion, we must know that civilization has come to be what it is because we are what we are. What are we?

Man is not what he thought he was. His own dog? bark at him. Like the old woman who woke up in the market-place and found her petticoat cut off to her knees, he asks: Is this me, or isn't it? And if not, who am I?

Men and women make Man. The Psalmist exclaimed in awe: "Lord, what is Man?" "Lord, what is Man not?" asks Hewlett scornfully. Neither attitude gets us any- where. Nor did our calm complacency of a few years

ago. We even boasted of our power over Nature. We did not know that it was loaded. That "power" burst filling our body with shrapnel, befogging our mind with the fumes of poison gas.

Reaction: nations demand new bombers; Man. neu' remedies the old ones have lost their kick. Both de- mands are met: new explosives, new prescriptions. Some would prescribe for human nature as if it were a dis- ease, to be cured in six weeks with six bottles, or with a new set of glands!

Is that it? Is it Man's nature that is ailing? But to cure it six weeks? In 60,000 years, possibly. If the past is any guide, Man can no more "cure" his nature than he can pull himself up by his bootstraps.

Perhaps Nature will cure him. Perhaps. But not soon Nature takes her time. She allowed the Elephant

two million years to lose one tusk, the Horse a million years to lose one toe. She gave Man five million years to lose his tail; we carry around five bones of it yet. A half-million years ago she stood Man on two feet; our bodies are not yet adjusted to an upright gait.

It is curious that Man trusts his voice to the telephone and his family to the motor car, while he still clings, like the poet's vine to the moudering wall, to his ancient notions about his own nature. It was more than 200 years after Man knew that the earth revolves once every twenty-four hours, that he discovered his own blood com- pletes its circuit every twenty-three seconds. He can pre- dict comets, but not wars, famines, or elections. He knows his Ford's viscera better than he knows his own. He rears calves more intelligently than he raises chil- dren. He does not know why he suffers from rupture or drops dead of heart-failure: or that he has hare-lip because there were Sharks in his ancestry, and cleft palate because he is of the line of Amphibia and Reptiles.

East is East and West is Europe, said Kipling, there- by insinuating grave error. But had he said that Susie O'Grady and the Chinese lady are sisters under the skin.

he w-ould have served truth. What we should like to know is: why is their skin different? Or why an East, or a Chinese lady or women at all? And if Man's nature is incurable, are his habits? Or is Man the onlv dog that cannot learn new tricks, the only machine that defies law, the only animal that cannot be understood?

What are we? Before we can answer that question we must know something of our physical body: what it is, where it comes from, who made it, what it is good for. what is its upkeep. Why so many sizes and colors; will the color fade; is one color, size, or sex better than an- other? Why do so many fail before they are used up, v.hy do they wear out at all? Is it coming or going, is there likely to be a new model out soon, and will it be better (and if so, in what respect), or cheaper?

When we know this body of ours we begin to know- what we are and that will help us to understand whv Man made culture and why we call our culture Civiliza- tion and think it pretty good. It will also help us to understand why the old lady who lost her petticoat in the market-place got frightened when she discovered she had legs and whv her dog barked at her.

X-Rays Stimulate Variation

Beloiv we reprint from "Science" of January 21th. 1928, an abstract of the paper by Dr. H. J. Muller of the University of Te.-cas presented before the Joint Genetic Sections of ih-e American Society of Zoologists and the Botanical Society of America, at their Nashville meeting. Awarded the American Association Prize of one thousand dollars for the most notable contribution to the advance- ment of Science.

"The Effects of X-Radiation on Genes and Chromosomes" (Abstract)

THIS paper reported the author's experiments of the past fifteen months on the hereditary effects of X- rays applied to the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. By means of special courses, the discrimination of muta- tions in individual genes from genetic recombinations of various sorts (due to segregation, non-disjunction, etc.), was facilitated, and lethal as well as visible changes were rendered detectable. Results in the second and later gen- erations, based on several thousand cultures, showed that gene mutations had occurred in the most heavily treated germ cells at about 150 times the frequency of those in the controls, derived from the same source, while in germ cells less heavily treated the result was intermediate. Germ cells in all stages studied were susceptible to the effect: these included oogonia. ova, spermatozoa shortlv before fertilization, and spermatozoa when rayed either in the male or in the female receptacles six or more days prior to fertilization. " The induced mutations resembled spontaneous ones,

inasmuch as: (1) The great majority were lethal; of the rest most, but not all, reduced viability or fertility-

(2) Recessives greatly outnumbered definite dominants.

(3) Many of the visible effects were relatively incon- spicuous. (4) Though "new" mutations were somewhat

more frequent, there were also numerous repetitions of familiar mutations. (5) All regions of the chromatin were affected, but the induced mutations were more dense- ly distributed in those regions of the linkage map in which more spontaneous mutations have occurred. (6) Multiple allelomorphism occurred. (7) So also did reverse mutation of genes already mutant when treated. Tlie two latter facts argue against the effects always be- ing complete losses or inactivations. (8) Though point- mutations were the rule, there was an occasional "line- mutation" involving a row of neighboring genes, as if by an electron that had passed parallel to the chronio- nema. (9) The vast majority of the treated genes, both mutant and normal-seeming, remained stable in their inheritance throughout succeeding generations, though at least one case of an "eversporting" condition arose.

Evidence was secured (by making use of non-disjunc- tion) that only one of the two identical genes, or allelo- morphs, present in a diploid cell, is caused to mutate at a time. The effect on a given gene, in a haploid germ cell, is "fractional," in that only a fraction of the re- sulting embryo will receive mutant gene material, the remainder being of normal gene content. Since there is no evidence of an indiscriminate intermingling of the mutant and normal tissues thereby arising, it becomes unlikely that the gene is compounded of many inter- changeable members. This is also evidenced by the stability of treated genes in heredity.

Besides gene mutations, frequent rearrangements of gene order involving inversions, translocations', dupli- cations, etc., of chromosome sections were found, by genetic evidence, to be produced by X-rays. These pro- vided information concerning various questions. For example, cytological verification of two such cases yield- ed direct evidence for the physical validity of the link- age maps and of the corollary theory of crossing-over.

Spheric Mirror Shows Human-Ape

Relationship

By a. L. Herrera

j^> /

THE study of the distortion of natural objects as re- flected by a spheric mirror is instructive. It ex- aggerates details of structure and form in such a way that insignificant differences are remarkably accentuated, and discovers the reciprocal relations of organic forms, their common and differential characters. It confirm? many of the presumptions of the theory of evolution and discloses some important facts of morphogeny. In some cases it even allows us to foresee the results of artificial selection and cross-breeding.

In a spheric mirror, the nearer the object is, the big- ger is the image. The size of whatever is farther away from the mirror is aparently reduced. Thus a kangaroo iiiav acquire the normal aspect of a mammal having four legs of the same size. If its head and fore-limbs point toward the mirror its long hind-legs are apparently short- ened. And thus the size of an ibis' beak whose base is held toward a curved mirror diminishes so that it as- sumes the shape of the normal bill of a small bird.

It is a plain and practical manner of demonstrating the old law of Geoffrev de St. Hilaire, or organic compen- sation.

As shown in the drawings (Figure 1) the orang- outang's skull (a) reflected in a spheric mirror (a glass of liquid air), with its maxillar region as far as possible from the reflecting surface, assumes (b) the aspect of a brachicephal human skull. The maxillar region could not be shown satisfactorily in the drawing, but any one can try the experiment and see that the maxillary and dental prognatism disappears completely.

Figure (d) shows a normal human skull placed before the mirror so that the facial and maxillar regions may appear larger. The result (c) is worth notice. It be- comes the image of an ape's skull. Compare it with (e), the Gorilla skull. Note its big oblique orbits, very

narrow forehead, well marked maxillar and dental prog- natism, and bent back chin. It looks very much like the skulls of fossil men; its general aspect is beastly and very far from human.

We can see here how the development of the occipital part and of the vault of the cranium in human skulls reduces, bv organic compensation, the facial and maxil-

lar parts. This even indicates that supeiincn will have an enormous cranial vault and atrophied maxillaries.

The second figure is a chimpanzee's head modelled in wax. It seems human as reflected by the mirror. (Figure 2).

This demonstrates that the gap between man and ape is small, and that a mere compensation of growth in certain directions is sufficient to bridge it.

Evolution and the New Perspective of

Life Purposes

By Harky Elmer Barnes

THE evolutionary conception and the new cosmology are as disruptive of the accepted views of man as they are of the older theological attitude towards God. According to the accepted biblical theory, man was a theological entity and not a unit of bio-chemical be- havior. He was important chiefly as the custodian of an immortal soul, for which his fleshly being served merely as the temporary envelope pending the earthly experiment which determined the destiny of each indi- vidual soul. In the more optimistic passages of Holy Writ man was defined as only a little lower than the angels, while in the more abject strains he was viewed as but a worm of the dust.

The scientific facts reveal man as Jieither a worm nor an angel with pruned wings. He is the leading mem- ber of the simian group and therefore the dominant element for the time be- ing in the aniinal kingdom. This view of man as an animal has been extreme- ly repellant to many of the more pious and conventional brethren, but there is little rational ground for such an at- titude, once it is understood what one really means by this. When one views the situation in a scientific and common sense attitude, he recognizes that the animal kingdom represents the highest order of life on the planet; that is, the highest level of develop- ment known to man. Therefore, to be the temporary leader of the animal world is the highest form of achieve- ment to which man could possiblv pre- tend and this title is the superlative praise which can possibly be bestowed upon him.

Further, not only is the conception that man is an animal a demonstrated fact in no way humiliating to the human race; it also has much more practical sig- nificance. If it were known to be true that we are slightly mitigated angels, this would afford no clue to the study of mankind, because no one lias seen an angel and we possess no knowledge of the personal traits and behavior patterns of the angelic host. On the other hand, once we come to recognize the fact that man is an animal we immediately have the rich fielil of comparative anatomy, physiology and psychology l<> draw upon and from which to build a solid approach to the study of human nature and behavior. These branches of science reveal man as a super-simian, and the study of simian psychology, as summarized in such books as those by Kohts, Koehler and Yerkes, affords more in the way of a key to human behavior than all tlie hooks on theology ever compiled from the days of

primitive folklore to the most abstruse apologetic man- ual of a contemporary professor of systematic theology. Even a humorous and avowedly trivial little book like Clarence Day's "This Simian World" will tell one more relevant and cogent things about human nature than all the ponderous tomes of an Aquinas or the collected sermons of a dozen Moodys or Spurgeons.

The implications of the above for sociology and ethics are very great and far-reaching indeed. It comes down to this, namely, that the type of behavior and institu- tions which are best suited to advance human happi- ness and efficiency must be sought and constructed in conformity with the need of a species ot super-simians inhabiting diverse types of geographic environment.

The implications of contemporary iistro-physical discoveries, together with tlie parallel progress of research in biology and anthropology, have neces- sitated a complete revolution in the ac- cepted views of the purpose of life. This earth can no longer be regarded as a temporary training-camp, prepara- tory for life in the New Jerusalem, rather, it can be rationally regarded at l)resent in no other way than as a place in which a man should make himself as happy as possible during his tempo- rary existence here upon earth. Not only must the objectives of human life be reduced to a secular plane, but we must now definitely enunciate and de- tend "the right to be happy." To be ill re, we may concede at the outset that happiness need not be identified with the tastes and achievements of Casanova, Fatty Arbuckle or the "Old Soak," though they may be as safe and de- sirable guides as Calvin or Immanuel Kant. We must formulate a conception of happiness which will be suf- ficiently comprehensive and well-grounded. Perhaps, as a statement of general principles, we can do no better than to revert to the one great previous effort to formu- late ethical principles on secular foundations, namely, the ethics of the Greeks, and particularly to Aristotle's conception of virtue as the "happy mean." But we can go further than the Greeks in transforming this generalized formula into terms of concrete guidance through our pres- ent day knowledge of biology, psychology and sociology.

PUSSY-FOOTING

In the report of Austin H. Clark, News Manager of the recent Nashville congress of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science we find the follow- ing illuminating observation:

"Certain aspects of science in the recent past have given rise in Tennessee to a considerable amount of controversy, and it might have been expected that at this meeting the local papers would seize the opportunity of reviving the discussion. Nothing of the sort occurred. On the con- trary, the local papers handled a delicate situation in such a masterly way as to give a new broader meaning to the phrases of southern courtesy and southern hospi- tality."

A year's free subscription will be given as a prize to any reader proposing a better name for this than "Pussy-footing."

BELOW THE BELT

John Roach Straton, fundamentalist preacher, achieves notoriety no matter where he orates. Just now he is reported to have "struck another vigorous blow at evolution" in San Jose, California.

And of what consisteth this "vigorous blow"? Hath the Reverend Doctor con- ducted experiments or observations to dis- prove any one of the myriad items of evi- dence for evolution accumulated through the painstaking labor of legions of scien- ticts all over the world? Listen to the Great Divine:

"Consider Hickman. What did Hickman study in school? Did he study the Bible? No, he studied evolution."

Of course, 'if Hickman had studied evolution it would prove exactly nothing at all in this connection. But the fact happens to be that Hickman was very re- ligious, saw the "will of God' in all that he did, and prayed constantly to get out of trouble.

From here it looks like this John Roach follower of the lowly Nazarene is hitting below the belt.

CONFIDENTIAL QUESTIONNAIRE

The following questionnaire has been sent to every College and University Presi- dent with the notation that "answers are for compilation only and will be held in strict confidence. If you wish to comment for publication, please use separate sheet. Kindly return before March 25th. so that we can compile the answers for our April issue."

1. Is evolution taught in your institu- tion?

2. Is it taught as fact, or as mere theory?

3. Do YOU consider evolution a fact?

4. Should teaching evolution be pro- hibited by law?

5. Shall we send our magazine. Evo- lution, to your library regularly?

Enough answers have already been re- ceived to assure that the compilation will be most interesting and instructive. It will be made a feature in the April number of Evolution and should achieve a wide cir- culation among students as well as teach- ers.

JUST A WORD

EVOLUTION DINNER

The Evolution Dinner will take place at 6:45, Friday, the Thirteenth of April, at Cafe Boulevard. 132 West 41st Street. Mark this in your note book right now if you are within hailing distance from New 'Vork. For of course you'll want to be there to get acquainted with the writers and some of the other supporters of Evolution.

There will be a symposium on The Evolution of Evolution". No long-winded speeches. Limit: five minutes. Some splen- did music. Also "eats".

So plan to bring some friends. The rate will be $1.75 per person. Please make reservation as long in advance as possible,

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH

Friday the Thirteenth of April is the first anniversary of the chartering of the Evolution Publishing Corporation. Will you send a Birthday present to this live- ly kicking infant in the form of some new subscriptions? And perhaps also a con- tribution to help broadcast sample copies? We hope to be remembered This month by Every reader.

IN THE BEGINNING

Two tiny cells unite, surrendering

Their individualities, to bring

A new-born entity to life; and so

The lunar cycles glow and dim and glow;

While Nature, for the millionth time,

resolves The mystery of HOW mankind evolves.

The single cell divides and multiplies, And passes through a thousand forms,

and dies A thousand deaths of change, and yet

survives Till, at the end of half a million lives. Nature completes the sum of it, and flings Her proved solution to the World of

Things.

"Here is the heir of all that was"', says she, "And here the sire of all that is to be!" They cut the cord, draw the placenta

through. And go to tell your father that it's YOU! C. H. M.

A DINNER IN YOUR CITY TOO?

Mr. O. 0. Whitenack of the Colorado Rationalistic Association writes:

"At the same hour you are feasting in New York and planning to get the scalps of the bigots we are going to have a din- ner in Denver in honor of your great maga- zine and the gospel it proclaims. We hope the same will be possible in other cities. Professor Shipley should be able to send his greetings from the Pacific coast and Mr. Steiner should have a meeting in Chi- cago. ,

"At about seven oclock that evening <9 p. m. New York time) we want to ex- change greetings with you by telegrams, messages that will express to the world what we stand for and what we hope to accomplish.

"Neither of us is to let the other know the message we are to send, but it must of course bear upon evolution and the magazine. We will let you know what de- tails are arranged as soon as possible."

This is truly a splendid idea. Similar dinners might be arranged in every city for Friday the Thirteenth of April, wherever there is an interested group of Evolution readers, to celebrate the birth- day anniversary of the Evolution Pub» lishing Corporation and make plans for the struggle against fundamentalism in their communities.

Details, such as addresses where din- ners are to be held, hour and price, names of responsible persons, speakers, etc., should reach us by March 25th if pos- sible, to be published in Evolution.

Every reader is invited to help make Friday the Thirteenth of April a tre- mendous nation-wide demonstration in favor of the freedom to learn and teach whatever science discovers.

Write us your plans right away. But do not wait for approval. Follow the splendid example of our fiiends in Den- ver and Get Busy.

What Evolution Means to You

By Maynard Shipley

Maynard Shipley

'T^HE evolution concept is not merely one of the grandest gen-

eralizations of science; it is also of real practical significance,

not only to the fathers and mothers of the children who must

attend mu las-suppnrted schools, but also to every citizen in his

ow-n right. It has an import- ant beaiing, on every problem lliat we have to face.

At this point I can im- agine some even of the read- ers of Evolution saying to themselves: "Well, I know that evolution is an import- ant scientific concept, and I believe it should be taught in our schools, but what do 1 personally care about it? Evolution doesn't butter any bread for me!"'

Some months ago, as presi- dent of the Science League of America, I received a let- ter from a very well-known medical man who practises in one of the southern states. As a graduate of one of our great medical colleges, he is, of course, an evolutionist. But he expressed the opinion that it was not necessary that our boys and girls should be taught biology the science of living beings. He did not claim that biology could be properly taught with evolution left out; he knew, as all real students of science know, that it could not. But he asked if the time devoted to the natural sciences in our schools could not, to better advantage, be given to some useful art or trade.

But why the antithesis? Why not give at least a small part oi the time to the science of healthful and enlightened living, along with the art of making that living? Why devote all of a pupil's time to business methods or business ethics or to learning a trade in short, to making money? Is money-making an end in itself? Or is not the making of money merely a means to a higher end namely, the rounding out of a wholesome, comfort able, helpful, sane, and beautiful life?

Why, indeed, should not all boys and girls be taught at least the elementary principles of biology and geology and astronomy (all of which, I repeat, are dependent on evolution for their proper understanding)? We teach them the best in literature, something of the world they live in and its history, the easier parts of mathematics, a little of art and music, perhaps some foreign language: but too many of us think a boy or girl can be "educated" who knows nothing whatever of the great basic foun- dation of all modern life science.

Perhaps few would deny that we owe the best that modern culture affords to "all the children of all the people." Tomorrow lliey will be voters, who may be called upon to decide whether biology and geology (which necessarily involve the processes of evolution) shall be taught at all in twentieth-century America. Above all, our children must learn that all contemporary in- vestigation is firmly based upon the evolutionary concept, and that this concept touches upon every phase of modern life even including personal hygiene and public health.

Not only is the evolution concept necessary to a real under- standing of the natural sciences, but it is essential in every branch of human welfare in plant and animal industry, in medicine, surgery, geology, zoology, psychology, human origins, child study, criminology and penology in short, in every depart- ment of human knowledge. The great progress of. applied science today in America is entirely dependent for its continued

growth on freedom in pure science. If you destro) the root, the tree will fall.

Among the most treasured books in my library is a work by Charles Darwin a volume which was used for a period of thirty-five years by that greatest of experimental horticulturists, the lamented Luther Burbank. It was because of his close study of the works of the immortal Darwin that he was able to give to the world not only hundreds of new flowering plants of un- excelled beauty, but also new fruits, vegetables, and cereals which have added hundreds of millions of dollars to the value of products of the soil.

It is obviously the duty of all who appreciate the patient and painstaking workers in field and laboratory, to aid in the pro- tection of freedom in research and instruction. It would be humiliating, indeed, to be a citizen of a state or country where science was shackled and despised; but, more important still, it would also be dangerous to public health and welfare.

It has well been said that "if there is any method of insuring that wnat is taught is true, better than that of giving investigat- ors and teachers the utmost freedom to discover and proclaim the truth as they see it, that method has never been discovered. If those who know most about a subject sometimes decide wrongly, matters are not likely to be mended by putting the decision into the hands of those who know less."

While it is well known that not one living biologist, geo- logist, botanist, zoologist, palaeontologist, or anthropologist, of recognized standing in his profession, anywhere in the civilized world, doubts that things came to be what they are found to be, by a process of evolution of orderly change under immutable natural laws nevertheless, what the friends of science are really supporting (or trying to protect) is not so much this unanimous conclusion of the scientists, as the validity of the method on which it is based, the method of science, and the moral right and duty of the workers in field and laboratory to make known to the students in our tax-supported educational institutions the full results of their researches. Science commands our respect, not on the basis that its present conclusions are absolutely and for all time true, but on the ground that its method is for all time true the method, not of tradition or revelation or authority, but of discovery, careful observation, research, experimentation, com- parison, testing, analysis, sjTithesis. We want to know, not what somebody said that someone else said, many centuries ago, per- haps, but, precisely: "What are the present facts in the case?" These facts, as fast as discovered, must be set in order, then interpreted or accounted for; not in accordance with tradition or unsupported logic, but in accordance with all the knowledge at the moment available. Our boys and girls are entitled to the full benefits of this method the method of science.

We sometimes hear it said, "But scientists change their con- clusions; what the pupil learns today may be invalidated to- morrow." To a certain and a very limited extent this may be true; in other words, science is not static, but grows as more and more is found out by research. But once the pupil has been thoroughly grounded in the scientific method and attitude, these changes will only add to his knowledge as they are revealed to him. He has hold of the basic principle, and is prepared to receive and understand each new discovery as it is made, and each new conclusion as it is formulated. A generation educated in even the most elementary principles of science would find this world a far more interesting, more healthful, and more reasonable place to live in, than one where the inhabitants had grown up in ignorance of this foundation of all progress.

Evolution is the one and only scientific conception which "serves to give unity and direct ion to the study of human culture as a whole."

How Old Is the World?

By Allen S. Broms

/^OING down a deep well or mine-shaft, one would find the ground tempera- ture rising steadily, about one degree Fahrenheit for each fifty feet of descent. At this rate, the temperature at twenty miles below the surface would be sufficient to melt some of the rocks. At the center of the Earth everything would be, not merely liquid, but gaseous, though the enormous pressure of the overlying rock matter would keep the whole mass (solids, liquids and gases) as rigid as if made of solid steel. Only a verj- thin outer crust would be solid because it was cool.

I daresay the Fundamentalists would explain all this as due to "fire and brimstone" and picture (with more or less holy self-satisfaction) that eternal abode for us evolutionists in which we are doubtless to occupy the most scorching place of honor. I fear, however, that we must disappoint by rejecting this pious explanation in favor of one that is sensible.

Earth Heat From Radioactivity

Chemical analysis of various kinds of rocks from all parts of the Earth reveal the fact that practically all contain minute portions of the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. By a series of steps, these elements finally break up into helium and lead, the helium being shot out most violently (see illustration). Heat is there- by released, slowly, but steadily. As we can readily measure how fast heat is given off by •each element and we know quite closely the amounts of the elements in the rocks of the Earth it is a simple matter to determine whether enough heat is given off to account for the tem- peratures found underground, keeping in mind that much earth heat slowly works its way to the earth surface and is then lost by radiation into outer space. We find that not only is enough heat thus produced, but too much. This would indicate that the Earth is not cooling off, but actually getting hotter. Thereby, we shall find, hangs a most interesting geo- logical tale.

Previous Age Estimate Too Loiv On the opposite assumption, that the Earth was gradually cooling off from an original molten state. Lord Kelvin had estimated the age of the Earth at 40,000,- 000 years. All he had to do was to meas- ure the rate at which the earth heat was being radiated into space, make due al- lowances for higher rates at higher tem- peratures in the past, and figure how long it would take to cool it from the molten state.

Geologists claimed that his estimate was too low. They had studied the rates at which sediments were being deposited, they knew what miles upon miles of sedi- mentary rocks had to be accounted for, and they found forty million years too short. They determined the rates at which

Tracks

streams were cutting and lowering con- tinental surfaces and about how much of tliis had been done in the past, and again the time allowed was too short. They measured the saltness of the oceans (par- ticularly the sodium content) and how fast the rivers and shore waves were re- moving the salts from the rocks to the seas, and they concluded that the oceans them- selves were more than 100,000,000, perhaps even 175,000,000 years old. Of course, this would make the Earth itself much older.

Heat of th-e Sun Explained Until the discovery of radioactivity, the heal necessary to keep the Earth warm for such a long time could not be explained. The heat from the Sun, though it makes a lot of differ- ence at the surface of the Earth, does not pen- etrate very deeply below that surface. Besides, it had been taken into account. In fact, it presented just another difficulty, for from what source was derived the enormous amount of heat being radiated by the Sun? If the Sun were solid coal, it would all be burned out in a few thousand years. A theory of heat from con- traction extended the time to a few million years. But the heat from radioactivity multi- plied this into billions of years, in closer agree- ment with what we know of the age of the Earth.

A Peep Into the Geologic Future

In the Earth itself, it was found that the heat

from radioactivity more than offsets the loss into

space and that the Earth is therefore probably

getting hotter. Some of this heat reaches the

surface and promptly escapes into space, but the

temperature deep down inside is slowly rising,

for the earth-crust acts as an excellent blanket

in keeping the accruing heat inside. Professor

Joly has carefully figured the rate of this heat

accumulation and concludes that in some thirty

to forty million years the temperature will rise

high enough to melt and weaken portions

of the earth crust. If this is true, then

eventually the lid must blow off.

What happens when the lid blows off is another story, to be told in the next article. Only one effect need be noted here. According to Joly there ensues a period of rapid heat release so that within six to twelve million years quite all the accumulated heat would be lost. Then the earth-crust blanket would settle down again to its job of holding the heat ac- cumulating for the next great cycle. Every forty to fifty million years these great cycles would repeat themselves. And as we have good reasons for believing that five or six of these cycles have occurred in geological times, we can again estimate the age of the Earth, roughly between two and three hundred million years, of Helium Atoms shot out from which agrees fairly well with the best Thorium estimates from other evidences.

Evolution and Evolution Theories

By Walter C. Kraatz

Page Eleven

IVFANY well-intentioned but much mis- taken people regard evolution (cus- tomarily called the theory of evolution) as merely theoretical and as synonymous with Darwin. Of the many ordinary mis- conceptions met with by one teaching bio- logy, this one of identifying Darwinism with evolution is one of the most wide- spread and persistent. Countless times is the mistake corrected in the numerous courses given and in the books on evolu- tion for student and laymen, and still the idea sticks, to the confusion of many, who therefore are in doubt about the solid establishment of evolution itself.

Naturally if one were to approach the subject without biological background and without plan or system read some older evolution books, including the greatest classics of evolution for all time, the works of Darwin, he would quite pos- sibly not differentiate the two things, be- cause he would be going through a lengthy enumeration of facts tending to demon- strate evolution, and at the same time, getting most pointedly the constant ex- planation of evolution by natural selec- tion as given by Darwin. In the popular mind and also in the careless words of some science writers, evolution is identi- fied with Darwinism. It should not be •done, even though Darwin is the greatest figure in evolutionary biology and did more than anyone else to establish evolu- tion, as well as offer about the most ac- ceptable explanation or causal theory that has been offered. Some do not agree to his causal theory of natural selection, but ihey are nevertheless staunch evolutionists. Evolution should no more be regarded as synonymous with Darwinism than gra- vitation itself might be defined as syno- nymous with Newtonisra (if we may use the term).

Any modern evolution textbook will pre- sent this matter in a systematic way.

Evolution, the name for the ages-long gradual development of the wonderful mul- titude of animal and plant species, is an overly large subject to learn comprehen- sively. We will not discuss it in this little article, but merely see what fields of evidence there are, what groups of num- berless facts in nature have established it, and then this little list of fields of evidence will aUow us to differentiate sharply from this other subject of theo- ries of evolution, that is, theories of ex- planation of the mode of evolution.

There are many fields within the bio- logical sciences that offer overwhelming demonstration for evolution. They com- prise: morphology or comparative ana- tomy, classification, embr>'ology (the pre- birth or pre-hatching part of the individu- al's development), paleontology or the study of fossils, which is the study of the countless relics of the ages of life suc- cession on the globe, geographical dis-

stribution of animals and plants, the blood tests, domestication, and some other ex- perimental botanical and zoological lines of research. It would take a series of articles to explain these even very brief- ly. Everyone who has learned some con- siderable amount of this evidence realizes that evolution is a fact, or better termed, a natural process or natural law.

But what is the mode of evolution or what the process? How does it go on? By what means is it working? Just what are all the factors deep-seated in nature, and how do they correlate to make all the new species of animals and plants? This is a great problem, not entirely solved. This is obviously a different in- quiry from that of the evidences for evolu- tion itself. Evolution is history. The meaning of the phrase theories of evolu- tion, is not the history itself but the in- herent things that cause and accomplish this particular succession, or cause this liistory, of new organisms.

To answer or attempt to answer the problem of the mode or method of evolu- tion, or the cause of origin of new species, has been the work of many biologists, and has been worked up together with the ac- cumulation of evidence of the fact of evolution. Underlying these explanations nr theories are some absolutely funda- mental factors, namely heredity, variation, and selection.

The most important theories that have been promulgated, without reference to their present standing are: Lamarck's theory, sometimes called the theory of use and disuse, which is the oldest scien- tific theor)- of evolution worth noting; Darwin's theory, the theory of natural selection or survival of the fittest, which can be called Darwinism correctly; De- Vries's theory or mutation theory; the orthogenesis theories; isolation theories, and others, some of which are best in correlation with others.

The important point in this connection is that difference of opinion with respect to any or all these theories has not the slightest effect on evolution itself. AU biologists and everyone wonhy of the name is meant here, not some teachers in fundamentalist colleges who may warp their biology to suit their fundamentalist masters accept evolution, though they may be arguing about Darwinism, De- Vries's mutation and Lamarckism.

The public so often confuses the two, evolution, and these theories of evolution. In newspaper articles, particularly in the glaring, ambiguous headlines, they are confused time and time again. Disagree- ment over some detail of the causal theo- ries of evolution, denial of Darwinism or of Lamarckism, is wrongfully misinterpret- ed as denial of evolution. It is high time that purveyors of news and opinion and the public at large get this matter care fully in mind.

EVOLUTION VERSUS THEOLOGY Maynard Shipley, evolutionist, and John Roach Straton, fundamentalist, debated March 7th at the Civic Center Auditorium in San Francisco.

Approximately five thousand people, mostly fundamentalists, attended and fer- vently applauded their speaker, and boo- hooed science and evolution.

Upon leaving the auditorium an appar- ently intelligent person was heard to re- mark: "I never before believed that man descended from monkey, but since I have seen five thousand people fervently applaud fundamentalism, which has given us no- thing, and attempt to boohoo science, which has given us everything. I am thoroughly convinced that man didn't descend from monkey, but that he still is one.'' /. Baxter

NEWS FROM ARKANSAS Although the Secretary of State in Ar- kansas writes that no petition has been filed with him as yet, we have definite report that the fundamentalists have al- ready secured enough signatures to their petition to place the question of evolution on the ballot in Arkansas at the next election.

A Greater Danger Than Evolution some good books

By Cleveland Sylvester Simkins

A FAR greater danger to the established dogmas of religious intoleration than evolution lies in the chemical analysis of the phenomena of life. This field is new and the startling discoveries already made are quite unintelligible to the censoring angels of American morals, education and the Statue of Liberty. Just now the fundamentalists are awakening to the somnambulant delusion that Darwin and Nietzsche are responsible for the doctrine of evolution, sixty-five years after the ap- pearance of the "Origin of Species", and three thousand after the first hint of an evolutionary process, hence it may be rea- sonable to predict that a hundred years more and we shall be forbidden to ex- periment upon the living cell because it writes the chemical formula of the soul and proves that life is a physio-chemical process.

This myriad I, composed of units be- low the range of naked vision, labors to produce my individuality from fertilization to the grave. Even Christ was wrong for the lilies of the field toil and spin, though rooted to the spot. We die, so does the lily of the field, but the chemical sub- stances and physical forces undergo their transformations even after death; perhaps they pause, but rather does it seem as if they rise again to keep the living things upon the earth potentially immortal. Each living cell possesses that capacity of po- tential immortality, for if isolated, fed and warmed and watered it will live on and on as an independent unit outside the body that nourished and differentiated it. The isolated cell respires, it breathes, re- sponds to stimuli, conducts an electric cur- rent with varying intenshy according to the condition of its vitality. I may slowly kill the cell and in its lingering death de- termine that the amount of carbon dioxide given off slowly falls as death o'er takes it, but never falls to zero. The electrical resistance decreases to the point of death, but never does it cease completely. Hence the process of death, of vitality and re- activity presents mechanisms that can be measured and investigated by accurate means. The mechanism of life and death contains no vital principle, no elan vital, no spiritual power nor mystic source of energy beyond the ken of man's intelli- gence or the penetration of his dissecting needle.

Those pioneer investigators who have progressed so far into the seemingly un- knowable things of life, have passed be- yond the outposts set up by evolution and boldly explore a new and IVrlile field, half hid from the eyes of the world. We are unprovoked by the searchers for the Holy Grail, because they know not what we do.

Stop us from teaching evolution if you will, that lies behind us, it cannot be eradicated nor beaten from the minds of scholars; naught can avail from its sup-

pression for we shall turn to deadlier weapons still, since they are already in our hands.

OTHER WORLDS, By O. J. Schuster, The Christopher Publishing House, Boston, $1.50.

Good popularizations of science always delight me and I have been having a par- ticularly good time reading Schuster's "Other Worlds", there being only one little fly in the ointment. The facts of general astronomy are correctly stated and could hardly be more condensed, yet his way of putting it all is so pleasantly lucid that one gels no impression of condensa- tion. One takes brief, vivid journeys to strategic points on the earth, to the moon, sun and planets and finally a round trip of the high spots of the universe, travel- ling when necessary with the speed of light. Astronomy has always had a pop- ular appeal, but the author has done so very well that e\en the long familiar sub- ject becomes freshly marvelous.

There is just the remotest hint in the foreword that the author intends to re- peat his performance in other fields of science. I hope so and invite him to. He has the knack and sticks to the facts which ai^e wonderful enough so he qualifies fully by my standards.

But I have a complaint when he takes us aboard his "Magic Ship Mintaka". Hu- man beings do not like to be patronized, and this device strikes me as distinctly patronizing. I dare say the trouble is that he really does nothing with it when he has created it. Had he romanced with it like a Jules Verne, I am sure I would have been satisfied. Had he introduced us to its mechanism, taught us to operate it, and had thrilling accidents happen to it, then one could be satisfied. But to go aboard a ''magic ship," which he did not even picture, and then not to be permit- ted to run the dam thing, is quite too much. Wlien I go on his next trip, 7 hope the old boat sinks. But in spite of it, this was a great trip.

From Our Readers

■"Please not to send any more. one is enough. What we need in this world is not from what we are 'evolved', but rather, whither are we bound! Any science that helps to shake man's faith in the Eternal God, Creator of the Universe, is a menace to the best interests of the race."' D. L. Ellis, Tennessee.

"My eyes fell accidentally upon the first issue of Evolution. I found the first two issues interesting and good reading. But this last issue, February, much better. I find it excellent. I wish you would send me 25 copies for distribution.' C. Sahlin, Minnesota.

"Evolution is great! Evolution is real, because it adheres closely to the dissem- ination of facts of science, simply and cogently stated."' E. S. Moser, Pennsyl- vania.

"You are putting across some strikingly fine things and I wish you great success." V. F. Calverton, Maryland.

"Your latest number of Evolution is even better than its predecessors and meets the existing conditions admirably." Hugh F. Munro, Pennsylvania.

■"I have viewed not without some alarm the recent movements against the study

of evolution. The only remedy for this it seems to me is the better education of the public mind. I fully appreciate the fact that this is a slow and arduous task, but it is through such a magazine as yours, which is written so that "he who runs may read", that the portion of the public mind which has not yet learned to think in terms of evolution can best be approached." Leon E. Peeler, New York.

"Just received my first copy of your magazine and am well pleased with it. I want lo help some, so I herewith send $1.00 for which please send me 20 copies for distribution."' A. V. Bragg. California.

'"You are doing a splendid work. Wish you every success in your undertaking. You may send me some more subscrip- tion blanks." V. Van Voorst, Missouri.

"I am enclosing my check for $2 to pay for 40 copies of February Evolution. They sell like hot cakes at a dime a copy at the monthly lectures given here 'oy Dr. John Emerson Roberts, who heads a Rationalist organization kno\\Ti as The Church of This World. The good Doctor announces that they will be on sale after the lecture, and they are all sold. I am glad to help the cause in tliis way." F. V. Schoolcraft, Missouri.

"Just a line to express my congratula- tions to you for Evolution, which is a dandy little magazine well edited and de- serving much success." Joseph Lewis, New York,

''I am greatly elated regarding the fine articles, and those who subscribed through my solicitation feel likewise. I fully re- alize the struggle in connection with a new publication. Success or failure for the magazine lies with the subscribers whose duty it is to obtain new subscribers. Tak- ing the make-up and subject matter as a criterion for the future I predict success for Evolution." II. T. Ahrens, Washing- ton.

'Our greatest fault is stating a thing as a fact which may not be a fact, and which would not matter to us at present if it were a fact. There are enough things we Know to keep us busy. Whether a thing is a fact, doubtful, possible or probable, say so, if it is important enough to mat- ter. Herein lies the error of fundamen- talism,— except its big crime: denying free expression." P. B. Cowdery. Cali- fornia.

To use the human reason Is "Fundamental" treason; Just go it blind. Leave brains behind Like tails, they're nut of season.

LIBRARY FUND

Numerous Public Libraries have asked us to place them on our "Free List". Evolution has no "'Free List", and we have no capital with which to pay for subscriptions to be sent to libraries. How- ever, we realize that this would be very much worth while, and therefore invite interested friends to contribute to a LiBHARv Fund.

Every dollar contributed to this fund will pay for sending Evolution to two libraries for one year. For fifty dollars we will supply one hundred public libra- ries, and at the same time issue to the contributor shares in our Publishing Cor- poration for this amount. Who will start this ball rolling?

PITY THE HEATHEN

If Evolution reaches only con- vinced evolutionists it isn't worth print- ing. Our real task is to carry the facts about evolution to those who do not understand what it is all about, so they can no longer be stampeded by fundamentalists. This we can do only with your help. Order a few extra copies to give friends and neighbors. We'll send you five copies each month for a whole year for only |2.50.

Why We Behave

Like Human Beings

By George A. Dorset, ph.d. ll.d.

Formerly Curator of Anthropology. Field Museum and Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Chicago

John B. Watson, author of "Behavior- ism" says: "It focuses for the first time the light of science upon the weak and shivering organic unit we call man. Only a man who has spent his life studying man in the jungle as well as in the drawing rooms and cafes could write such a book. $3.50.

CHEMISTRY TO CONTROL LIFE

'"TPllE chemist of the future will turn from his humble task of providing the conveniences of life and gain control of life itself."

It was Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, director of Science Service, speaking before a group of psychologists gathered from many parts of the world for conference at Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio.

"The chemist of the future."" continued Dr. Slosfon. "may mould stature and char- acter as the sculptor moulds his clay. The factors of heredity and the origin of species when you get doivn to bed rock, are chemical problems. What we value as individuality fascinating temperaments, charms of vivacity, woe and sympathy are all due to definite hormones, some nf which are already known chemical com- pounds.

"Courage is not a matter of 'sand' but of sugar. Diabetic patients who are gripped with a form of fear from an over- dose of insulin may have their courage immediately restored by sucking a lolly- pop. A variation of a few hundredths of one per cent, in the glucose of the blood may make the difference between coward- ice and courage, may determine whetlier a man shall be shot as a slacker or mcdaled as a hero."
