To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If life had not been a struggle with the angel of death, our existing Edentata might have been left by nature, as defenceless as the first human types. They were, however, her dull, but dear, children ; and she helped them as she did not help us and our ancestors. She did not change her plans for them ; but she clothed some with a thick heavy fell of hair, and others she harnessed with coats of mail. What science wants to embody forth is the primordial root-form of all the nobler creatures now ...existing ; all those, I mean, that begin life by breathing air, all the forms above the Amphibia (Frogs and Toads, Newts and Salamanders). Indeed, we need the conception of a still lower root-form than the Tadpole or the larval Newt, one which might possibly have been the parental form of all the existing Vertebrata. Let us imagine such a primordial form, and then we can argue that the lowest existing Vertebrates, the Hag and the Lamprey, are the descendants of types that have had as much leisure for improvement as the forefathers of the noblest kinds.
