DARW|N'S THEORY
Denver Professor Stresses
Presence of Bacteria in
All Living Cells.

BIZ JHifed Press
DENVER, Col, Feb. 5.-All pres
ent ideals of medicine and biology
will be upset if Symbionticism, :"
the new theory of evolution ad.
vanced by DR.. Ivan e. Wallin,
professor of anatomy at the Univer-
sity of Colorado, proves true.
Following seven years of research,
DR.. Wallin says he has come to the
conclusion that Darwin and his fol-
overlooked the presence of bacteria
In all living cells. DR.. Wallin de-
clares that these bacteria grow and
that 1t was their change in size and
shape throughout the centuries
which caused humans as well as
plants to evolve from earlier and
smaller forms.
DR.. Wallin's theory. If it proves
acceptable to the scientific world,
will necessarily throw into the dis

ton on the basis of the survival of
the fittest and natural selection.
Thine alone will tell whether I am
right" DIR. Wallin said. "I have
proved the theory to my own satis-
faction and If l am right it will revo-
lutionize medicine an biology"
Biologists in 1890, Dr. Wallin ex-
planned, discovered small granules
in the cells of all animals and plants.
Some believed at the time that the
grounles were bacteria but the idaa
was later abandoned and the gran
ules came to be looked upon as in
animate condensations of cellular
fluid.
After long series of experimental
ton with the granules, DR.. Wallin
decided that they were at least SINH
lar to bacteria. Later experiments
to grow and change in shape, prov
ing conclusively, he declared, that
he conducted caused the granules
they really were bacteria.
When introduced into living cells,
these bacteria caused the formation
in many cases, of new tissues and
organs, thus pointing to the view
that man might have grown up from
an original grbup of cells which de-
veloped irto a human being through
many stages of bacterial infection" ("
