Abstract

QUITE a dozen years ago statements began to appear in our public press announcing that “Darwinism was dead,” and so often has this assertion been repeated in more recent days that there has arisen in the public mind a fear that some sort of fatality has overtaken the reputation of the great naturalist. If by Darwinism is implied the body of fact, inference, and doctrine contained between the covers of “The Origin of Species,” then assuredly Darwinism is not dead, for the revolution which that book began to work in the minds of thoughtful men sixty-seven years ago still continues its forward and unchecked progress.
