GENESIs-HAPTERI.
/. Primarily the UnknOwable moved upon
cosmos and evolved pr0toplasm.
2. And protOplasm was Inorganic and undifer-
%entiated, containing al things in potential ener-
y and a spirit Of evolution moved upon the
3. And the Unknowable said, let atoms at
tfact and their contact begat light, heat, and
electricity.
4. And the Unconditional differentiated the
atoms, each after It's kind and their combine
tions tegat rock, air and water.
s. And there went out q spirit Of evolution
from Unconditional, and working in protoplasm,
by a~ccTetion and absorption produced the organic
cell.
6. And cell BY nutrition evolved primordial
germ, and germ developed protogene and proto-
gene begat cocoon, and cocoon begat monad, and
monad begat animacule.
7. And AnimalcuIa begat ephemera; then
began creeping things to multiply on the face Of
the earth.
8. And earthly atom in vegetable prOtoplasm
begat the molecule, and thence came all grass
and every herb in the earth.
9. And animalcuIe in the water evolved fms,
tails, claws and scales and in the air wings and
beaks; and on the land they sprouted such or
gans as were necessary as played upon by the
environment.
10. And by accretion and absorption came the
radiata, and mollusca begat artieulata and articu-
lata begat vertebrate.
IL. Now these are the generations of the higher
vertebrate, in the cosmic period that the Unknow-
able evoluted the bipedal ~mammalia.
y. And every man of the earth, while he was
yet a monkey, and the horse while he was a
hipparion, and the hipparion before he was an
Oredon.
Is. Out of the ascidian came the amphibian
and begat pentadactyle and the pentadactyle by
inheritance and selection produced the ~hylobate,
from which are the simiade in all their tribes.
IA. And out of the simiade the lemur pre-
vailed above his fellows and produced the platy-
rhine monkey.
Is. And the platyrhine begat the catarrhine,
and the catarrhine monkey begat the anthropoid
ape who begat the longimanous orang, and the
orang begat the chimpanzee, and the ch~impanzee
eyoluted the what-is-it.
l6. And the what-is-it went into the land of
Nod and took him q wife of the longimanous
gibbons.
II. And in process of the eosmic period were
born unto them all their children the anthropo-
morphic primordial types.
Is. The homunculus, the ~prognathus, the
troglodyte, the autochthon, the terragen-these
are the generations of primeval man.
10. And primeyal man was naked and not
ashamed, but lived in q-uadrumanous innocence,
and struggled nightly to harmonic with the
environment.
20. And by Inheritance and natural selection
did be progress from the stabbed and homogene-
GUS to the complex and heterogeneous-for the
weakest died and the strongest grew and multi
piled.
81. And man grew a thumb for that he had
need Of it, and developed capacities for prey.
%. For, behold, the swiltest men caught the
most animals, and the swiftest animals got away
from the most men wherefore the slow animals
were eaten and the slow men starved to death
%. And as types were differentiated the weak
er types continually disappeared.
"a. And the earth was filed with violence
for man strove with man, and tribe with tribe,
whereby they killed of the weak and foolish and
secured the survival Of the fittest.
