To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first is : not a single species of vegetable, not a single species of animal, is found at the same time all over the globe. The most wide-spread species occupied at first only a small part of the earth, and man must have carried with him not onlj^ certain vegetables but also certain animals, to find them as widely diffused as they are in our day. Not- withstanding this intelligent and voluntary intervention, you well know that there are certain parts of the globe occupied by man in which ne...ither the vegetables that have accompanied us almost everywhere, nor the animals which we habitually transport, can survive. Man, on the con- trary, is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word ; that is to say, we find him everywhere, amid the ice of the poles, as under the equator. Hence, if he had originated wherever we find him, he would constitute a single exception among all organic and living beings, whether vegetable or animal. This reason, alone, ought to make us accept at least this much: that man has, at all events, peopled a part of the globe by emigration.
