These laws, taken in +the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is +almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and +direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and +disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, +and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of +Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war +of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are +capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, +directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its +several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or +into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to +the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most +beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved. |
