PROFESSOR CLELASD, in his address to
the British Association, says that he is
convinced of a unity of plan running
through animal forms, and reaching, so
far as the main line is concerned, its
completion in the human body. There
is evidence that animal life has reached
its pre-ordained climax in humanity, and
it cannot be thought that, as myriads of
.year roll on, descendants differing totally
from man will be developed. In the ma
ture Of the variations in the human race
there seems to be some evidence that the
progress of evolution is not to be traced
from man, and to other animal forms yet
to appear, but, through his physical ma
ture, into the land of the unseen.
