To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The evolution of living species on the earth represents the effort of life to subdue the nature of matter and introduce the principle of freedom, or at least of indetermination, into the very stronghold of necessity. Evolution has proceeded by dis- sociation ; an infinite variety of organisms has been produced, and the original tendencies of the vital elan have been distributed among them. Life has won its most remarkable successes in two directions in the evolution of the insects, and in the e...volution of the vertebrates, culminating in man.
