CHAPTERI.
I. Primarily the UnknowabIe moved
upon cosmos and evolved protoplasm.
2. And protoplasm was inorganic and
undifferentiated, containing all things
in potential energy; and "a spirit Of evolu-
ti0n moved upon the fluid mass.
8. And the Unknowable said, let
atoms attract; and their contact begat
| light, heat and electricity.
4. And the UnconditiOned differentiat-
ed the atoms, each after its kind; and
their combinations begat rock, air and
water.
5. And there went out spirit of ev.
olution from the Uncondltioned, and
| working in protoplasm, by accretion
and absorption produced the organic
cell.
8. And cell by nutrition evolved pri.
mordial germ, and germ developed pro.
togene; and protogene begat cocoon, and
| cocoon begat monad, and monad begat
| animalcule.
7. And animalcule begat ephemera;
| then began creeping things to multiply
on the face Of the earth.
8. And earthly atom in vegetable pro-
toplasm begat the moiecule, and thence
| came all grass and every herb in the
earth.
8. And animalcula in the water evolved
fins, tails, claws, and scales; and in the
air wings and beaks; and on the land
they sprouted such organs as were ne.
cessary as played upon by the environ
ment. ,
10. And by accretion and absorption
came the radiata ana mollusca, and mol
lusca begat articulata and articulata be-
gat vertebrate.
II. Now these are the generation Of
the higher vertebrate, in the cosmit
period that the Unkhowable evoluted the
bIpedal mammalia.
IL. And every man of the earth, while
he was yet q monkey, and the horse whit
he was a bipparIon, and the hippari0r
before he was ali oredon.
/ 13. Out Ofthe ascidian came the amphi
4 bian and begat pcntadactyle; and th'
pentadactyle by inheritance and selec
tion produced the hylobate from whlcl
are the simiadse in all their tribes.
IA. And out OF the simiada the lemu
the platyrhine monkey.
i 10. And the platyrhine begat the catar
rhine, and The catarrhine monkey bega
he anthropoid ape, and the ape bega
the longIman0us orang, and the oranl
begat the chimpanzee, and the chimpan
zee evoiuted the what-is it.
16. And the what-is-it went into tn
, land Of n cd and took him IL wife of tn
! longlmanous gibbons.
II. And in process ofthe cosmic perio
III we're born unto them and their chlldre
! the anthropomorphic primordial types.
IL. The honuncults, the prognathus
the trogIodyte, the autochlhon, the ter
ragen--these are the generations o
primeval man.
10. And primevai man was naked an
; not ashamed, but lived in quadrumanou
', innocence, and struggled nightly TO hal
monize with the environment.
20. And by inheritance and natural 81
!, lection did he progress from the stabl
: and homogeneous to the complex an
|, heterogeneous-for the weakest died an
: the strongest grew and muitip led.
II 2I. And man grew thumb for that h
! had need OF it, and developed capacitie
Tor prey.
%. For, behold tile swiftest men caugb
: The most ANIMALS, and the switteet an
mails got away from the most men; where
, fore the slow animals We're eaten and th
slow men starved to death,
%. And as types were differentiate
the weaker types continually disaI
peared.
"a. And the earth was filled with viz
lence; for man stroye with man, and trib
with tribe, whereby they killed of tn
weak and foolish and seQred the sury
val OF the tittest.
