SCIENTISTS SAY BLOOD
TESTS PROVE EVOLUTION
Mans Relation to Apes Shown in Various Ways According
to BIOLOGISTS.

the man-Iike apes agree in a most re
markable fashion. There are differ.
ences in size and shapes. But there
are the same bones arranged in the
same fashion in each. There are the
same blood vessels and the same
nerves.
Man and apes are attacked by the
same bacteria and suffer many of the
same diseases-tuberculo for ex-
ample
The blood of a man when transfused
into a dog behaves II a hostile way
causing the destruction Of the red
corpuscles.
Human blood mingles freely with
that of the man-like apes.
There are more complicated exam
pies which prove the same thing. The
blood fluid or serum of a rabbit which
has human blood injected into it
forms a cloudy precipitate when
mixed with human blood.
1t will form almost as heavy a pre-
cipitate with the blood Of the man
like apes.
In the case of other apes there IS
| only a slight reaction. In the case
of the lomur 1t is weakest of all.
Thus the experiment not only shows
mans relation to the ape but his de-
gree Of relationship to various types.
Another proof Of mans relation
ship to the animal world is the pres
ence Of so-called vestigial organs in
his anatomy. These are relics so to
speak. of organs which once were
important but which lost their i'm
portance as man evolved from the
primate stock.
The best known of these rudimen-
tary organs is the veniform appendix.
In certain grazing animals 1t is a
highly important organ.
Muscles In Same Glass
Certain muscles which now per
form no function but which origi-
nalIy twitched the ears and the skin
of the face are in this same class.
Many mammals possess a mem
brane In the eye known as the third
eyelid. There are vestiges of this in
man.
Another proof Of the relationship
to the ape is the hair upon the arms
and legs. The direction In which 1t
grows corresponds to the direction Of
the hairy growth on the man-like
apes.
Embryology furnishes other proofs
Of mans relation to the other forms
of life. The human embryo in its
early Stages resembles the embryo of
the fish in its early stages. Later II
resembles that of the reptile and still
| later that Of other mammals.

France at first turned it down.
