LAST WORDS ON EVOLUTION
BY ERNEST HAEcKEL

The highest and most interesting prob
iem for the thinker"
The first thoro works Of impor-
lance on the subject appeared in 1863.
Thomas Huxley in England, and Carl
Vogt in Germany, endeavored to show
that the descent of man from the ape
was a necessary consequence of OAR
winism, and to provide an empirical
base for the theory by every available
argument. Huxley's work on Mans
Place in Nature" was particularly val
liable. He first gave, convincingly, in
three lectures, the empirical evidence
on the subject-the natural history of
the anthropoid apes, the anatomical
and neurological relations of man to
the next lowest animals, and the re-

attempt to establish the theory of
evolution comprehensively by re.
search in anatomy and embroyology
and to determine the chief stages in
the natural classification of the verte-
brates that must have been passed
thru by our earlier vertebrate ances.
totrs. Anthropology thus becomes a
part Of zoology. In my History of
Creation" | further developed these
early evolutionary sketches, and i'm.
provements were made in the sue

In the meantime, the great master,
Darwin, had decided to deal with this
chief evolutionary problem in a spe.
cial work. The two volumes Of his
Descent of Man" appeared in 1871
They contained an able discussion OF
sexual selection, or the selective In

and their significance in regard TO
the origin of man. AS this part of
