An ssInQuirer'' Answered.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The enquirer who in your issue OF the 5th asked
the question, "Had the white man and the negro a
common parentagey seems to have based his con-
clus10n that the negro distinct creation upon
the fact that he Is from the structure OF his body
adapted TO the climate IN which he dwes. He could
claim with equal right, upon the same grounds, q
separate creation for every race Of men the
OF the earth for they ali give evidence of their adap
tatlon to the various climates and countries In
which they live, as the researches Of ethnoogists
prove. We know positively that climate and various
other causes do we together to N for the con.
dition OF the portion OF the globe In which
they dwell. Instances are on record where these
changes have actually taken place: one OF the most
notable Of which Is that Of the Jews of Cochin who
although prevented from amagamating with the
original inhabitants, by the strictness Of their laws
prohibiting marriage with foreigners, became SO
dark and SO like the natives that 1t was often I'M
possible to distinguish them. Should the "nqurer''
visit the West Indes and the sheep OF that cou.
try do not doubt that he would claim that the
hairy sheep were new. species, and would
argue that they mad distinct creation, be-
thereby being cooler III that torrd climates although
we know, as all travellers have Informed us,
lose all their wool and become covered with hair.
The manner IN which the writer accounts Tor the
Color 9i } tae hegr1 VIZ taaa ne was created SO Ia
mate OF Africa which he illustrates by way of well
known experiment, showing the increase In the ra-
diation OF heat from dark surface over that Of a
light perfectly correct where the heat Is derived
from an internal source; but when derived from an
external source, in the case of the African it
gives entirely different results For what the negro
gains over the white man by his power Of radiation
OF heat he loses by the increase In his absOrptlve
powers, for all know that black surface will alb
sorb more heat than light one, thus the result Ia
about the same In both cases, and this argument
writer claims that since the creation Of man
| very large portion of the Eastern continent has
been submerged under the ocean, which is not in
accordance with the facts OF geology. Biologists
state that since the close Of the tertiary period in
which we hnd nc traces Of man, no changes have
taken place In the distribution OF the land and
water save the upheaval Of portion Of the coast
line and such as were effected by the passage OF
glaciers over the country. There Is no scientific
unity of mankind. There always Will be few who
will doubt IT, for various reasons, but these mus,
find a better argument from which to infer dis
tnct creation for different races than mere adapta
tOn to the countries they lnhabt The world Is fas,
coming to recognize the fact that the wisdom and
Of the laws He has ordained In the direct act o
creation. QUID EST vERITAS.
