To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eimer flatly contradicts this view. We shall revert to this point in our criticism of his theory. In opposition to the theory of selection, Eimer lays special stress on the fact that its underlying assumption, viz., fortuitous, indefinite variation in many different directions, is entirely devoid of foundation - 72 jnjactj and that selection, in order to be effective, postu- lates the previous existence of the required useful charac- ters, whereas the very point at issue is to explain how these..., characters have originated. Since, therefore, according to Eimer's investigations, there are everywhere to be found only a few, definitely determined lines of variation, selec- tion is incapable of exercising any choice. The develop- ment, furthermore, proceeds without regard for utility, since, for instance, the features that characterize a species of plants are out of all reference to utility. "Even if noth- ing exists that is essentially detrimental, nevertheless very much does exist that bears no reference whatever to im- mediate good, and was therefore never affected by selec- tion." Further on, Eimer expresses still more clearly the op- position of his theory to that of Darwin, and in so doing he attacks vigorously the omnipotence of selection, so un- reasonably proclaimed by the followers of Darwin.
