thousands Of years largely in brain alone.
The bird brain to-day has already
ample cerebrum. Its descendants in the
new era Will have first TO specialize in
convolu'ions OF the brain each new con-
volution increasing this intelligence.
They will have TO cultivate next for q
long period brain cells with which
thought is produced and stored in the
form which we call memory
This development is not only possible:
it IS indeed the way in which nature has
always worked her will in the world.
That it would take ages 10 accomplish
means nothing. The life OF the whole
human race from the time it emerged
as ape man until today is only an instant
in geological time. Forms perish, nature
endures.
Humanity's vision OF the angels, a
higher form Of life as winged beings, Is

the form OF wings. The vision is simply
the far-seetng OF humanity that confuses
with itself the actual creature that will
follow it. Angels, winged things, will
rule the future world. but they will not
be transformed humanity. They will be
intellectual birds!
In material things OF to-day, the bird

thing. 1t is either that or else 1t is an
