Abstract
MR. REINHEIMER may justly claim that only from his words can a reader get a correct impression of the theory. On page 12, we read: “Everything abnormal and pathological is due to biologically unrighteous, i.e. fundamentally predatory behaviour. Although predaceous species may apparently, and for a time, live quite well, yet their temporary success is at the expense of permanent survival.” On p. 186, “All predaceous animals are on the road to ugliness.” On p. 87, “The wages of biological sin are: deformity, inferiority, disease, degeneration, death.”
