What reading level is Lectures On Evolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the chalk, for example, there is found a fishbelonging to the highest and the most differentiated group of osseousfishes, which goes by the name of _Beryx. _ The remains of that fish areamong the most beautiful and well-preserved of the fossils found in ourEnglish chalk. It can be studied anatomically, so far as the hard partsare concerned, almost as well as if it were a recent fish. But thegenus _Beryx_ is represented, at the present day, by very closely alliedspecies which are living in th...e Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. We maygo still farther back. I have already referred to the fact that theCarboniferous formations, in Europe and in America, contain the remainsof scorpions in an admirable state of preservation, and that thosescorpions are hardly distinguishable from such as now live. I do notmean to say that they are not different, but close scrutiny is needed inorder to distinguish them from modern scorpions.
More than this. At the very bottom of the Silurian series, in beds whichare by some authorities referred to the Cambrian formation, where thesigns of life begin to fail us--even there, among the few and scantyanimal remains which are discoverable, we find species of molluscousanimals which are so closely allied to existing forms that, at one time, they were grouped under the same generic name.
