▼OL. XVII.—NO. vix. 49 Digitized by CjOOQ IC 724 Growth and Development, [July* tions may be ascribed. These characteristics of the lowest forms have had a constant influence upon the subsequent development, and vigorously control the evolution of structure in the highest animals. But all other organic characteristics must be due to the play of the fingers of outer nature upon the whole long line of progress. Nature has constantly surrounded and pressed upon the body with her varie
...d energies, inducing responsive motions, growths and variations, and influencing every step of evolution.
The most highly evolved body has been thus formed and molded, and possesses hereditary characteristics derived from its whole long line of ancestors. The same may be said of its mental strain.
