Tomatoes might be developed by human ingenuity into a large, luscious fruit, but when left alone recede to the original type. The field of wheat, through careful cultivation, may be brought to a high state of perfection, but when left alone will become a weed patch. The orchard may be specially tended and guarded against every evil influence until it produces large beautiful fruit. When left alone, however, the fruit reverts to nubbins. The human baby born of college-bred parents of high intellectual stature, if left alone, will grow to be a gibbering idiot.
Nothing improves with age.
Everything deteriorates unless worked upon by an outside and superior power. These are facts which are provable and which deny all the theories - Darwinian, Lamarckian, and Mendelian. One type of the evolutionary hypothesis is that there is improvement due to surroundings. Whoever heard of a bad apple becoming good by being placed in a barrel of good apples. How could a bad egg in the container become good by being with good eggs.
