—Mr. Wallace argued strongly for the unity of mankind.
The diversities exhibited were not greater in the
members of the human family than amongst urinals.
Pigeons, fro instance, alth.ingh possessing greet variety,
were known to have come from one stock. He could not
see the slightest difficulty in supposing that if man bed
his origin in one portion of the world, he might, in the
enormous period of time which the ethnologist could
suppose, have spread to every part of the eorld where
be was now found. Auto the roodieration of rim orixinel
rues, Darwiniens accounted for them on every simple
Principles. They found that exactly the emu* natural
laws which had lee to the product of no many forms of
dommtio animsls from one race, would also mcount for

Instead of artificial selection. It was a welikeee• fact
that pertain varieties of external colour, end tom, and
teeters of hair were amosiated very frequently with
peculiarities of eoestitation. With regard, therefore,
to the origin of the negro, it might be supposed that
when the brown races had seta d and multiplied in the
tropical regions of Africa, where they we.e subject to
new inguesan„ new kinds of food, and new mode. of
life, tie individuals whom constitution was best
adapted to reeist the adverse infleenees of climate were
those of the darkest colour and the most frizzly hair.
