THE HUMAN BRAIN.
1t UnderEoes Wonderful Changes
During Its Growth.

During Its Growth.
The wonderful changes which the hui
man brain undergoes from the moment
when it first appears in the embryo un"
til it becomes the perfected laboratory
Of thought characteristic to the ma
tured human being has been commented
upon by several of the leading writer's
on biology, physiology, etc. During
these successive changes, or, rather,
transformations from the lower to the
higher sphere. the human brain not
only takes upon itself the general shape
and form of the brains Of various rep.
resentatives of the lower classes Of ami
mails, but appears to have the same
structural constituents, at least to a
certain degree. Thus it has been found
that the original germ Of the brain as
it appears in the human embryo has
the exact outlines of a serpent's thought
factory. After that the changes which
take place while the brain is assuming
the various shapes which it must I'M
dergo before it becomes perfect give ii
q decided resemblance to the brains of
fishes, birds and mammiferous ami.
mails.
Helms Thoughts on the Structure
of the Human Brain" and Wilson's
Anatomy of the Human Body" both
mention these queer transformations,
as does also Hugh Miller in his famous
work, Testimony of the Rocks" Mil
Ter puts it in this way: at has long
been known that the human brain is
built up by wonderful process, dur
ing which it assumes in succession the
form of the brain of a serpent, a fish,
a bird, and lastly, before it assumes the
characteristic human form, it takes up
on itself the outline Of a mammferous
quadruped's BRAIN Hence the remark
made by scientific writers that man is
the sum total of all animals"
