16136 | But if what lies below the horse''s"knee"thus corresponds to the middle finger in ourselves, what has become of the four other fingers or digits? |
16136 | Did things so happen or did they not? |
16136 | Now that we have arrived at the origin of this word"Biology,"the next point to consider is: What ground does it cover? |
16136 | The great issue, about which hangs a true sublimity, and the terror of overhanging fate, is what are you going to do with all these things? |

16487 | Or, on the other hand, are there some phases of life which the forces of chemistry and physics can not account for? |
16487 | Shall it be the linin, or the liquids, or the microsomes, or the chromatin threads, or the centrosomes? |

10060 | Again, if the Gibraltar indraught is the effect of evaporation, why does it go on in winter as well as in summer? |
10060 | And this question subdivides itself into two:--the first, are we really contravening such conclusions? |
10060 | And was it not possible, in the second place, that he had not sufficiently heated his infusions and the superjacent air? |
10060 | And what has made this difference? |
10060 | Are all the grandest and most interesting problems which offer themselves to the geological student, essentially insoluble? |
10060 | Are modern geologists prepared to say that all life was killed off the earth 50,000, 100,000, or 200,000 years ago? |
10060 | Are these Postmiocene immigrants, or Praemiocene natives? |
10060 | Are they parasites in the zoological sense, or are they merely what Virchow has called"heterologous growths"? |
10060 | But I imagine I hear the question, How is all this to be tested? |
10060 | But are these corpuscles causes, or mere concomitants, of the disease? |
10060 | But for what constituents of their bodies are animals thus dependent upon plants? |
10060 | But has the advance of biology simply tended to break down old distinctions, without establishing new ones? |
10060 | But how is this remarkable propulsive machine made to perform its functions? |
10060 | But if this be the case, how much further back must we go to find the common stock of the monodelphous_ Mammalia_? |
10060 | But is there any sound foundation for the three assumptions involved here? |
10060 | But now comes the further inquiry, Where was the highly differentiated Sauropsidan fauna of the Trias in Palaeozoic times? |
10060 | But what becomes of the coal which is burnt in yielding this interest? |
10060 | But whither does all this tend? |
10060 | But why does a muscle contract at one time and not at another? |
10060 | But why in the world did not this distinguished Hegelian look at a nettle hair for himself, before venturing to speak about the matter at all? |
10060 | But would not the meaning of the last line be better rendered"Developed in rain- water and in the warm vapours raised by the sun"?] |
10060 | But, in this case it may be asked, why does not our English coal consist of stems and leaves to a much greater extent than it does? |
10060 | Does Nature acknowledge, in any deeper way, this unity of plan we seem to trace? |
10060 | Does it equally well apply to the Pliocene fauna when we compare it with that of the Miocene epoch? |
10060 | For what might not have happened to the organic matter of the infusions, or to the oxygen of the air, in Spallanzani''s experiments? |
10060 | Has the vaccine matter, by its irritative property, produced a mere blister, the fluid of which has the same irritative property? |
10060 | How are the Cretaceous Ichthyosauria, Plesiosauria, or Pterosauria less embryonic, or more differentiated, species than those of the Lias? |
10060 | How can animal life be conceived to exist under such conditions of light, temperature, pressure, and aeration as must obtain at these vast depths? |
10060 | How did these isolated patches of a northern population get into these deep places? |
10060 | How do similar reasonings apply to the other great change of life-- that which took place at the end of the Palaeozoic period? |
10060 | How does this apparently anomalous state of things come about? |
10060 | How is the existence of this long succession of different species of crocodiles to be accounted for? |
10060 | How, in that case, could we conceive the action of the ferment on it? |
10060 | However, it may be asked, is there any necessary opposition between the so- called"vital"and the strictly physico- chemical views of fermentation? |
10060 | If I study a living being, under what heads does the knowledge I obtain fall? |
10060 | Is he in the position of a scientific Tantalus-- doomed always to thirst for a knowledge which he can not obtain? |
10060 | Is it not probable that teachers, in pursuing such studies, will be led astray from the acquirement of more important but less attractive knowledge? |
10060 | Is palaeontology able to succeed where physical geology fails? |
10060 | Is such a universal history, then, to be regarded as unattainable? |
10060 | It is the question, why should teachers be encouraged to acquire a knowledge of this, or any other branch of physical science? |
10060 | It might be true that Needham''s experiments yielded results such as he had described, but did they bear out his arguments? |
10060 | No doubt it is a pretty and ingenious way of looking at the structure of any animal; but is it anything more? |
10060 | Now does this mean that it may have been two, or three, or four hundred million years? |
10060 | Now what has taken place in the course of this operation? |
10060 | On what amount of similarity of their faunae is the doctrine of the contemporaneity of the European and of the North American Silurians based? |
10060 | Or does the vaccine matter contain living particles, which have grown and multiplied where they have been planted? |
10060 | Or may I not rather ask, is it possible for you to discharge your functions properly without these aids? |
10060 | Or may it not be also considered as an organised body? |
10060 | Or to turn to the higher Vertebrata-- in what sense are the Liassic Chelonia inferior to those which now exist? |
10060 | Such being the facts with regard to the nature of yeast, and the changes which it effects in sugar, how are they to be accounted for? |
10060 | Such being the facts with respect to the PÃ © brine, what are the indications as to the method of preventing it? |
10060 | The first inquiry which arises plainly is, has it ever been denied that this period_ may_ be enough for the purposes of geology? |
10060 | The great new question would be,"How does all this take place?" |
10060 | The means of exploration being fairly adequate, what forms of life may be looked for at these vast depths? |
10060 | Under these circumstances, what is the temperature of the Mediterranean? |
10060 | Was it not possible, in the first place, he had not completely excluded the air by his corks and mastic? |
10060 | What books shall I read? |
10060 | What if_ Globigerina_ and the Coccoliths should not be the only survivors of a world passed away, which are hidden beneath three miles of salt water? |
10060 | What is it originates, directs, and controls the motive power? |
10060 | What is it, therefore, but the exclusion of germs? |
10060 | What is the purpose of primary intellectual education? |
10060 | What is the reason of the predominance of the spores and spore- cases in it? |
10060 | What is the use, it is said, of attempting to make physical science a branch of primary education? |
10060 | What is this wide- spread component of the surface of the earth? |
10060 | What security was there that the development of life which ought to have taken place had not been checked or prevented by these changes? |
10060 | When I examine it, what appears to be the most striking character it presents? |
10060 | Where, then, must we look for its five- toed ancestor? |
10060 | Who can suppose that the few fossils yet found in these regions give any sufficient representation of the Permian fauna? |
10060 | Why does one whole group of muscles contract when the lobster wishes to extend his tail, and another group when he desires to bend it? |
10060 | Why should not these proportions have been different during the Mesozoic epoch? |
10060 | and what is the evidence on which those fundamental propositions demand our assent? |
10060 | and whence did it come? |
10060 | the second, if we are, are those conclusions so firmly based that we may not contravene them? |
10060 | what are the fundamental assumptions upon which they all logically depend? |

49818 | Now what,he asks,[IU]"does this greater consumption of time imply? |
49818 | [ CR] How, then, does Mr. Wallace himself suppose that these secondary sexual characters have arisen? 49818 ***** Turning now to the lower animals, the first question that suggests itself is-- What are their capacities for pleasure and pain? 49818 ***** We may now pass on to consider the position of those who give an affirmative answer to the question-- Can the body affect the germ? 49818 147; habits, are they inherited? 49818 159 Is there sufficient evidence that it does? 49818 493 The origin of interneural variations 496 Are acquired variations inherited? 49818 After that, I say to him,''Will you die for the queen, like a loyal soldier?'' 49818 Am I using the wordreason"in an unnatural and forced sense? |

49818 | And what shall we say of the colour- vision of invertebrates? |
49818 | And what, we may now proceed to ask, is the physiological or kinetic aspect of this metakinetic process? |
49818 | Another general question with regard to the feelings is-- With what condition or state of the bodily organization are they associated? |
49818 | Are not the phenomena he analyzes still the same, still equally real? |
49818 | Are the two as yet undifferentiated? |
49818 | Are these germinal cells mysteriously different from all the other cells which have undergone differentiation? |
49818 | Are these in any cases distinctive of species? |
49818 | Are they not produced by the ghost of the departed enemy, by the spirit of the deceased ancestor? |
49818 | Are we not justified in believing that the female exerts a choice, and that she receives the addresses of the male who pleases her most? |
49818 | Are we surprised at the want of surprise on the part of the cow? |
49818 | Are we, then, to leave the question as insoluble? |
49818 | At what distance apart, on the most delicate part of the retina, can two points of stimulation be recognized as distinct from each other? |
49818 | But are they inherited? |
49818 | But can the body so modified affect the germ- cells which it carries within it? |
49818 | But failing that, why not hay? |
49818 | But has not human selection through preferential mating? |
49818 | But here we open up an important question-- Where do we feel a sensation, such as, for example, that of pressure on the skin? |
49818 | But how came it that the father took to athletics, and was enabled to develop so lithe and powerful a frame? |
49818 | But how do they produce their effects? |
49818 | But how is the influence of the body brought to bear on the germ? |
49818 | But how, it is asked, can we accept it if its_ modus operandi_ is inexplicable? |
49818 | But how, it may be asked, on this view, or on any continuity hypothesis, are the origin of variations and their transmission to be accounted for? |
49818 | But in their inception may they not have been symbolic of predominants? |
49818 | But is this true of all animals? |
49818 | But is this true of all animals? |
49818 | But it may be further asked-- What is the use of the segregation? |
49818 | But may it not be of indirect disadvantage? |
49818 | But suppose the conditions are similar: can there be divergence in this case? |
49818 | But what dog? |
49818 | But what led me to construct an object with these qualities? |
49818 | But what, it may be asked, can be the purpose of an eye- structure which gives, not an image, but merely a spot of light? |
49818 | But where is the nuclear fission in the formation of gemmules? |
49818 | But who is to determine which? |
49818 | But who shall dare thus to limit the possibilities of organic nature? |
49818 | Can animals, we may ask, form such arbitrary associations? |
49818 | Can it be supposed that the weaving of a cocoon by the caterpillar is mainly a matter of lapsed intelligence? |
49818 | Can the principle of selection, which is so potent in the hands of man, apply under nature? |
49818 | Can we be sure that there is really a summation of results-- that each generation is not affected_ de novo_ in a similar manner? |
49818 | Can we conceive that, with organs so different, anything like a similar perceptual world can be elaborated in the insect mind? |
49818 | Can we exclude the direct action of the more or less saline water, or the products of the unwonted food on the germinal cells? |
49818 | Can we say that death-- as distinct from being killed-- is the natural heritage of every creature that lives? |
49818 | Can we say that matter, when it reaches the complexity of the grey cortex of the brain, becomes at last self- conscious? |
49818 | Can we suppose that it arose through the elimination of those ancestral animals which failed to perform this habit? |
49818 | Complex psychoses have been evolved from less complex psychoses; these from simple psychoses; these, again, from-- what? |
49818 | Do Arctic foxes tunnel in the snow for any other purposes? |
49818 | Do all animals"move about and sleep"? |
49818 | Do the clever foxes resemble the intelligent workman A, or the abstract reasoner B? |
49818 | Does he believe that consciousness is an accompaniment of certain nervous processes in the grey cortex of the brain? |
49818 | Does it support the view that the hen produces the egg or that the egg produces the hen? |
49818 | Does the male parade his charms with so much pomp and rivalry for no purpose? |
49818 | Evolution being continuity, associated with change, tending in certain directions, and accompanied by certain processes, how has it been effected? |
49818 | Evolved from what? |
49818 | Evolved from what? |
49818 | Finally, if an acquired character, so called, is better developed in the child than in the parent, what is this but an example of variation? |
49818 | For, if the plumage of the argus pheasant and the bird of paradise is due to the general laws of growth and development, why not the whole animal? |
49818 | Fortunately for those who visit London( and who nowadays does not? |
49818 | Granting its occurrence, is it effective? |
49818 | Has he altered the reality of the phenomena themselves? |
49818 | Have careful and reliable observers watched the foxes? |
49818 | Have we not in them the signs for predominants not yet converted for the primitive utterers into isolates? |
49818 | He is, however, perplexed by the question-- How can this be? |
49818 | Here it is again reinforced and directed( who, at present, can say how?) |
49818 | How can I here, by any metakinetic process, perceive the kinesis that is going on out there?" |
49818 | How can that which is utterly and completely false to nature have had a natural evolution? |
49818 | How can the results of analysis be more real than that which is analyzed? |
49818 | How can these be explained? |
49818 | How can we be sure that in the one case it was through fully attaining, in the other through failing to reach, the standard of taste? |
49818 | How far does the dog construct a similar world? |
49818 | How far is his symbolism the same as ours? |
49818 | How far, we may ask, do such actions imply"a conscious knowledge of the relation between the means employed and the ends attained"? |
49818 | How have this wealth, this diversity, this beauty, this manifold activity, which we summarize under the term"animal life,"been produced? |
49818 | How is it that these gaudy and variable caterpillars, cream- coloured with orange and black markings, have escaped speedy destruction? |
49818 | How the two sets of impressions are correlated and co- ordinated in insect- consciousness, who can say? |
49818 | How were variations started in the first instance? |
49818 | How, then, are we to account for our wide range of colour- sensation? |
49818 | If Darwin''s sexual selection is to be thus superseded, why not Messrs. Darwin and Wallace''s natural selection? |
49818 | If each lens thus gives an image, is not each the focussing apparatus of a single eye? |
49818 | If each plastic embryo is moulded in turn by similar influence, how can we conclusively prove hereditary summation? |
49818 | If fixed, how can differentiation occur in the same flock or herd? |
49818 | If lapsed intelligence be excluded in these cases, why introduce it at all? |
49818 | If mimicry in form and colour is due to natural selection, why not mimicry in habits and activities? |
49818 | If panmixia alone can not, to any very large extent, reduce an organ no longer sustained by natural selection, to what efficient cause are we to look? |
49818 | If the former, does it transfer its influence to the body- plasm during the life of the individual? |
49818 | In the doorway Carlo stopped, and looked first up at his mistress and then into the store- room, as much as to say,''What can we think of this?'' |
49818 | Is it any injustice to the brutes to contend that their inferences are of the same order as those of these excellent practical folk? |
49818 | Is it not because we believe in the practical unity of mankind? |
49818 | Is it the germ- plasm or the body- plasm that is influenced by external stresses? |
49818 | Is mind evolved from matter? |
49818 | Is not the identification of neurosis and psychosis a begging of the question, unless the_ how_, the_ modus operandi_, is explained? |
49818 | Is the object withheld or lost? |
49818 | Is there any principle analogous to that of elimination which we have seen to be of such high importance in organic evolution? |
49818 | Is there sufficient evidence to show conclusively that the body- cells have been modified, and have handed on the modification to the germ? |
49818 | Is this a case of transmitted fibre and faculty? |
49818 | It may be asked-- What advantage has such a view over realistic materialism? |
49818 | May not these have been the stepping- stones from the perceptual predominants of animal man, to the conceptual isolates of rational man? |
49818 | May not this structure be absorbing nutriment which would be more advantageously utilized elsewhere? |
49818 | Must we, then, leave the question undecided? |
49818 | Now, is this habit of elimination value? |
49818 | Now, what is the guiding principle of the evolution and development of ideas in the world of their metakinetic environment? |
49818 | Now, what was the nature of the construct framed at the bidding of the piercing howl? |
49818 | Now, what would be the result of this alternation of good times and hard times? |
49818 | Of what use would warning coloration be if it did not serve to suggest to the percipient the disagreeable qualities with which it is associated? |
49818 | Once more, how is this increased power in that biceps muscle of the oarsman able to impress itself upon the sperms or the ova? |
49818 | Or can we throw it into some form which is more general and less hypothetical? |
49818 | Or, has the atmosphere been furnished with continuous fresh supplies of carbonic acid gas? |
49818 | Secondly, some answer to the question-- How are the body- cells able to transmit their modifications to the germ- cells? |
49818 | Seeing so great an amount of routine work going on around him, might he not be in danger of regarding all this as evidence of blind instinct? |
49818 | Shall we leave this altogether out of account? |
49818 | The question is-- Are they transmitted? |
49818 | The question is-- Is each facetted organ an eye, or is it an aggregate of eyes? |
49818 | The question is-- Which assumption yields the most consistent and harmonious results? |
49818 | The question then naturally occurs-- How have these divergent forms escaped the swamping effects of intercrossing? |
49818 | The question, then, is not-- How does the world mirror itself in the mind of the dog? |
49818 | The standard may thus be maintained, but where is the possibility of progress? |
49818 | The two factors in phenomena 331 The basis in organic evolution 336 Perceptual construction in mammalia 338 Can animals analyze their constructs? |
49818 | Then at once arises the question-- Does life remain the same yesterday, to- day, and to- morrow? |
49818 | There is pain: is it restored or gained? |
49818 | There is pleasure: does it abide or remain constant? |
49818 | This is but one mode of putting a very old question-- Does the hen produce the egg, or does the egg produce the hen? |
49818 | To what other cause is the failure of heredity due? |
49818 | To which category, then, does this hypothesis belong? |
49818 | We may pass, then, to the question-- How? |
49818 | What are its methods? |
49818 | What are the characteristics of this growth? |
49818 | What are the physiological effects? |
49818 | What do we know, however, about the primitive tissue- differentiation of the earliest metazoa? |
49818 | What guides the variation along special lines leading to heightened beauty? |
49818 | What has guided it along these lines? |
49818 | What is the evidence that adjusted nutrition can be inherited? |
49818 | What is the proportion of those who adopt this device to those who gnaw through the string? |
49818 | What is this mind which is said to be evolved? |
49818 | What knows he of gravitation or the laws of the winds? |
49818 | What knows she of anatomy or of physiology? |
49818 | What shall we say concerning their constructs? |
49818 | What shall we say of such cases? |
49818 | What shall we say of such cases? |
49818 | What, in similar terms, is the delicacy of sight? |
49818 | What, on the principles above laid down, can we be said to know or have learnt about it? |
49818 | What, then, is excluded? |
49818 | What, then, is he-- his metakinetic self, not his kinetic material body-- to me? |
49818 | What, then, is the essential nature of the respiratory process thus so differently manifested? |
49818 | What, then, is the nature of this change? |
49818 | What, then, it may be asked, does produce the egg? |
49818 | What, then, we may now ask, is, on their view, the mode of origin of variations? |
49818 | Whence comes the carbonic acid gas? |
49818 | Wherein lies the utility of the divergence into two forms? |
49818 | Which shall eventually prevail-- a spiritual interpretation of nature, a material interpretation, a monistic interpretation, or other, who shall say? |
49818 | Whither goes the oxygen? |
49818 | Who can decide the question between monist and materialist? |
49818 | Who can say what will be the nature of the further evolution of any existing philosophical creed? |
49818 | Who can tell? |
49818 | Who dare arbitrate between the bishop and the professor? |
49818 | Who shall say, however, what was passing through the mind of the dog in any of these three cases? |
49818 | Why have these no similar tufts? |
49818 | Why not assume that neural processes, when they reach a certain complexity, give rise to or produce consciousness? |
49818 | Why not_ find_ hay inside; and, finding hay, why not enjoy the good provender thus provided? |
49818 | Why should we be? |
49818 | Why, then, rediscuss the question under these new terms? |
49818 | [ KL] In both cases, the question to which an answer is suggested is not-- What variations will arise? |
49818 | and if so, how? |
49818 | but rather-- How far does the symbolic world of the dog resemble the symbolic world of man? |
49818 | but-- What variations will survive? |
49818 | or is their segregation the direct effect of their differential fertility? |
49818 | or, to put the question in a more satisfactory form-- Are the limits of sensibility to light- vibrations the same in them as in us? |
49818 | the twisted skull of flat- fish) produced? |
49818 | why not_ all_ instinctive activities? |
49818 | |52| 5| 39|36| 18| 31| 39| 10| 19| 40|13|14|23|"|54| 5| 39|36| 18| 32| 40| 11| 17| 40|13|13|25|"|46| 5| 36|34| 16| 29| 36| 10| 19| 36|13|17|22|? |
54612 | Where are the facts proving the inheritance of acquired characters? |
54612 | [ 135] But if the production of one or other form from the same germ does not result from speciality of feeding, what does it result from? 54612 Again, what is to be thought of the fact that the immense majority of these supposed special creations took place before mankind existed? 54612 Am I called upon to abandon my own supported belief and accept Mr. Wallace''s unsupported belief? 54612 Among the several types of individuals forming the existing ant community, to which, then, did the ancestral ants bear the greatest resemblance? 54612 And does our ignorance of the manner in which they arose warrant us in asserting that they arose by special creation? 54612 And first of all, what are we to understand by co- operative parts? 54612 And how are the conquering determinants to find they ways out of the_ mêlée_ to the places where they are to fulfil their organizing functions? 54612 And if not, how far do differences between the surpluses determine differences between the limits of growth? 54612 And if otherwise, which are the directly adaptive and which are not? 54612 And now what about the other term of the antithesis-- the alleged inherent mortality of the somatic cells? 54612 And now, in presence of these facts, what are we to say? 54612 And then, how long will it take for the rest to be brought into adjustment? 54612 And what are the leading structural traits of these_ Amphibia_? 54612 And why, if typical uniformity was to be maintained, does the number of sacral vertebræ vary within the same order of birds? 54612 Answers to the questions-- Why do these adaptive modifications in an individual animal soon reach a limit? 54612 Are all the modifications that serve to re- fit organisms to their environments, directly adaptive modifications? 54612 Are not these traits also results of arrested nutrition? 54612 At what stage does it become an individual? 54612 Bearing in mind this requirement, is any one now prepared to say that survival of the fittest can cause this decline of the self- feeding faculty? 54612 But are we justified in speaking of cells at all in this case? 54612 But having abandoned this crude belief, what belief is he prepared to substitute? 54612 But how can we conceive an inactive activity? 54612 But how come these animals while young and small to have surplus assimilative powers? 54612 But how does the extreme discriminativeness of the tongue- tip aid these functions? 54612 But how happens the mean state of the organ to be changed? 54612 But if this distribution of tactual perceptiveness can not be explained by survival of the fittest, how can it be explained? 54612 But let us make a large admission, and suppose these muscles to vary together; what further muscular change is next required? 54612 But now what are the conditions under which alone, direct equilibration can occur? 54612 But now what are we to say when, instead of being cut off transversely, the tail is divided longitudinally and each half becomes a complete tail? 54612 But now what must follow from the destruction of the least- resisting individuals and survival of the most- resisting individuals? 54612 But what about speech? 54612 But what are we to say when three, four, and even five sets ofids"or bundles of"determinants"are present? |
54612 | But what has meanwhile happened to the outer digits? |
54612 | But what if the incident energy, falling on the system from without, proved insufficient to overthrow it? |
54612 | But what is the evidence for this? |
54612 | But what shall we say on finding innumerable cases in which the suffering inflicted brings no compensating benefit? |
54612 | But why should the growth of every organism be finally arrested? |
54612 | But why will the disused organs vary in the direction of decrease more than in the direction of increase? |
54612 | By what series of variations shall we say that it is reduced from full power to entire incapacity? |
54612 | Can this greater power be shown to have any advantage? |
54612 | Can this, or anything like this, be shown? |
54612 | Can we assume it to be solved by unconscious units? |
54612 | Can we with any propriety assume that these many enlargements duly proportioned will be simultaneously effected by spontaneous variations? |
54612 | Could we more truly say of anything,''it is unrepresentable in thought?''" |
54612 | Did the Unknowable thus demonstrate his power to himself? |
54612 | Do these continue their fissiparous multiplications without end? |
54612 | Do they differ in extension? |
54612 | Do they differ otherwise than in amount? |
54612 | Do they vary together? |
54612 | Does Structure originate Function, or does Function originate Structure? |
54612 | Does any one think he can show this? |
54612 | For if all such as are deficient of power in a certain direction are destroyed, what must be the effect on posterity? |
54612 | For if these single- celled organisms which multiply so rapidly be supposed to lose some of their separative tendency, what must be the result? |
54612 | For what has the trusted process of panmixia been doing ever since the human being began to evolve from the ape? |
54612 | For whence did he get the doctrine of special creations? |
54612 | HOW IS ORGANIC EVOLUTION CAUSED? |
54612 | HOW IS ORGANIC EVOLUTION CAUSED? |
54612 | Have all animals equal surpluses of assimilative powers? |
54612 | Have we any ground for concluding that species were specially created, except the ground that we have no immediate knowledge of their origin? |
54612 | Have we any reason to think that the parts spontaneously increase or decrease together? |
54612 | Have we not here a solution of these facts? |
54612 | How about the back of the trunk and its face? |
54612 | How are the Cretaceous Ichthyosauria, Plesiosauria, or Pterosauria less embryonic or more differentiated species than those of the Lias?" |
54612 | How are these transformations brought about? |
54612 | How are we to account for this fact? |
54612 | How are we to conceive that genesis of a vital principle which must go along with the genesis of an organism? |
54612 | How are we to distinguish between them? |
54612 | How came this contrast to arise in the course of evolution, if there was the equality of variation supposed? |
54612 | How can its all- sufficiency be alleged when its action can neither be demonstrated nor easily imagined? |
54612 | How changed? |
54612 | How comes there a wish to perform an action not before performed? |
54612 | How distinguished? |
54612 | How does it happen that among those moths of which the female has but rudimentary wings, she continues to endow the males of her species with wings? |
54612 | How does it happen that some organisms multiply by homogenesis and others by heterogenesis? |
54612 | How formed? |
54612 | How happened it then to awaken at the time when the supply of water enabled the tissues to resume their functions? |
54612 | How happens it that animals were so designed as to render this bloodshed necessary? |
54612 | How is it that the children of a widow by a second husband do not bear traceable resemblances to the first husband? |
54612 | How is such proclivity obtainable? |
54612 | How is this to be explained? |
54612 | How long, then, will it be before there takes place that particular alteration which will make the bone fitter for its new action? |
54612 | How made? |
54612 | How shall we explain the reparative and reproductive powers thus exemplified? |
54612 | How shall we range these facts with the ordinary facts of inheritance? |
54612 | How so? |
54612 | How then comes the organ to augment in size and power? |
54612 | How would it be possible for creatures subject to so violent a change of habitat to survive? |
54612 | How, by any process of direct equilibration, could it come to have the required thickness? |
54612 | How, in the course of evolution, have they been established? |
54612 | How, then, did M. Nouel succeed in obtaining a desirable combination of a fine English breed with the relatively poor French breeds? |
54612 | How, then, is this balance to be maintained? |
54612 | How, then, is this remarkable trait of the tongue- tip to be accounted for? |
54612 | How, then, will a diminution of this separative tendency first show itself? |
54612 | If a new organism is not thus produced, then in what way is one produced? |
54612 | If he has to surrender the hypothesis of_ panmixia_, what results? |
54612 | If so, how have there arisen the unlikenesses between the hind legs of the kangaroo and those of the elephant? |
54612 | If so, we are met by the question-- how is the re- arrangement effected? |
54612 | If so, why did it come back at the right moment? |
54612 | If these facts do not disprove absolutely Professor Weismann''s hypothesis, we may wonderingly ask what facts would disprove it? |
54612 | If they are not inheritable, what must happen? |
54612 | In passing from its wholly unorganized state to an organized state, what will be the first step? |
54612 | In the second place there arises the question-- whence comes the nitrogen required for the compounding of the carbo- hydrates into proteids? |
54612 | In what way does he treat this argument? |
54612 | In what way, then, is the required co- adaptation to be effected? |
54612 | Is any advantage derived from possession of greater tactual discriminativeness by the last than the first? |
54612 | Is it by the agency of the nucleus? |
54612 | Is it created afresh for every plant and animal? |
54612 | Is it not probable that the process of differentiation has been similar? |
54612 | Is it replied that the Creator was able to make individuals arise from one another in a natural succession, but not to make species thus arise? |
54612 | Is it some other vital principle external to it, or some materials out of which more vital principle is formed? |
54612 | Is it supposed that a new organism, when specially created, is created out of nothing? |
54612 | Is not the growth of an organism an essentially similar process? |
54612 | Is the protoplasm then the active agent? |
54612 | Is there one kind of vital principle for all kinds of organisms, or is there a separate kind for each? |
54612 | Is this a credible conclusion? |
54612 | Is this principle of activity inherent in organic matter, or is it something superadded? |
54612 | It takes for its subject- matter such general questions as-- What is the end subserved by the union of sperm- cell and germ- cell? |
54612 | Let us, then, ask how, by natural selection, this complex apparatus of bones and muscles can have been developed,_ pari passu_ with the horns? |
54612 | Looking at the evidence thus brought together, do we not get an insight into the actions of nitrogenous matter as a worker of organic changes? |
54612 | May we not expect that it will show itself in the divided portions_ not_ flying apart, but remaining near each other, and forming a group? |
54612 | May we not suspect that it is connected( partially though not wholly) with the contrast between their amounts of locomotive exertion? |
54612 | Must we conclude that God went out of his way to devise an animal for these places? |
54612 | Must we then think, like Von Baer, that the distribution of kindred organisms through different media presents an insurmountable difficulty? |
54612 | Nay, indeed, would not this be much the easier? |
54612 | Now what is the process by which the moving equilibrium in any species becomes adapted to some additional external factor furthering its maintenance? |
54612 | Omitting sundry minor generalizations, the exposition of which would involve too much detail, what is to be said of these major generalizations? |
54612 | Passing from the evidence that evolution has taken place, to the question-- How has it taken place? |
54612 | Relations between what things? |
54612 | Shall we regard all the growing axes thus resulting from slips and grafts and buds, as parts of one individual or as distinct individuals? |
54612 | Shall we say five? |
54612 | Shall we say that these amount to one- tenth of the central ganglion? |
54612 | Shall we say that these degraded creatures, incapable of thought or enjoyment, were created that they might cause human misery? |
54612 | Shall we say that"the head and crown of things,"was provided as a habitat for these parasites? |
54612 | Such being the necessities of the case, what will happen on any successive or simultaneous fertilizations? |
54612 | Suppose that the head of a bison becomes much heavier, what must be the indirect results? |
54612 | The above induction is an approximate answer to the question--_When_ does gamogenesis recur? |
54612 | The question arises, then,--do variations of the appropriate kinds occur simultaneously in all these co- operative parts? |
54612 | The question is: Are the differences between species differences of adaptation? |
54612 | The ultimate mystery is as great as ever: seeing that there remains unsolved the question-- What_ determines_ the co- ordination of actions? |
54612 | There naturally arises the question-- How does it happen that parallel results are not observed in other cases? |
54612 | These proceedings have reference to constitutional needs; but how are they prompted? |
54612 | This answer to the question--_when_ does gamogenesis recur? |
54612 | This goes on with children and grandchildren for a few millions of years, and at last who can be astonished that the fins become feet? |
54612 | Those who think that divine power is demonstrated by special creations, have to answer the question-- to whom demonstrated? |
54612 | Though there may arise the question-- Why could they not have been avoided? |
54612 | To my immediate inquiry--"Was the male a wild pig?" |
54612 | To what end is this construction and re- construction? |
54612 | Under what circumstances do such modes of agamic multiplication, variously modified among parasites, occur? |
54612 | Under what form are we to conceive this dynamic element? |
54612 | Under what form has the vital principle existed during these long intervals? |
54612 | Under what influence is this action initiated and guided? |
54612 | Under what play of forces do these zoospores arrange themselves into this strange structure? |
54612 | Until some beneficial result has been felt from going through certain movements, what can suggest the execution of such movements? |
54612 | Was it all along present in the rotifer though asleep? |
54612 | Was the vital principle elsewhere during these years of absolute quiescence? |
54612 | We are concerned with the previous question-- What variations will arise? |
54612 | Well, in the first place, there might be asked the counter- question-- Where are the facts which disprove it? |
54612 | Were its structure and the accompanying instinct divinely planned to fit it to this particular habitat? |
54612 | What are the causes of variation? |
54612 | What are the conditions under which Genesis takes place? |

54612 | What are the variations required? |
54612 | What are we to say of a laugh? |
54612 | What are we to say of the repeated cell- fissions by which in some types a blastula, or mulberry- mass, is formed, and in other types a blastoderm? |

54612 | What happens if instead of one organ we consider all the organs? |
54612 | What happens with the blow fly? |
54612 | What happens? |
54612 | What interpretation is to be put on these facts by those who espouse the hypothesis of special creations? |
54612 | What interpretation is to be put on these truths of classification? |
54612 | What is an individual? |

54612 | What must happen? |
54612 | What must have been the proximate causes of their variations? |
54612 | What must result? |
54612 | What must we say of the ability an organism has to re- complete itself when one of its parts has been cut off? |
54612 | What now happens when they are mixed? |
54612 | What observer has watched for forty years to see whether the fissiparous multiplication of_ Protozoa_ does not cease? |
54612 | What observer has watched for one year, or one month, or one week? |
54612 | What of its divided state? |
54612 | What reason have we for assuming that the inconveniently small tongues occur more frequently than the inconveniently large ones? |
54612 | What results? |
54612 | What shall we say of these leading truths when taken together? |
54612 | What shall we say to this arrangement? |
54612 | What shall we say when we see the inferior destroying the superior? |
54612 | What then are we to say-- what are we to think? |
54612 | What then has disappeared? |
54612 | What was the next step? |
54612 | What will be the characters of the developed insects? |
54612 | What will be the consequence? |
54612 | What will happen? |
54612 | What, again, is the meaning of extinction of types? |
54612 | What, however, are we to say of a multiaxial plant? |
54612 | What, in these cases, must the female do that she may rear members of the next generation? |
54612 | What, now, do we find among the organisms thus subject to various regular and irregular alterations of media? |
54612 | What, now, is the implication? |
54612 | What, then, is the meaning of these peculiar relations of organic forms? |
54612 | What, then, is the only defensible interpretation? |
54612 | What, then, is the probability that there will be two nearly blind ones, and that these will be thus carried? |
54612 | What, then, must happen with the queen- ant, which, through countless generations, has ceased to use certain structures and has lost them from disuse? |
54612 | What, then, must this division be? |
54612 | What, then, remains as the only possible interpretation? |
54612 | What, then, shall we say of the fore limbs and hind limbs of terrestrial mammals, which co- operate closely and perpetually? |
54612 | What, then, will in some cases happen, supposing there is an arrested development consequent on innutrition? |
54612 | Whence arises, then, their striking unlikeness of bulk? |
54612 | Whence comes that vital principle which determines the organizing process? |
54612 | Where is the_ exchange of services_ between somatic cells and reproductive cells? |
54612 | Where now are the facts supporting this assertion? |
54612 | Where, before life commenced, were the superior organisms from which these lowest organisms obtained their organic matter? |
54612 | Which alternative does he prefer?--to cast an imputation on the divine character or to assert a limitation of the divine power? |
54612 | Which do they prefer? |
54612 | Why can not all multiplication be carried on after the asexual method? |
54612 | Why does there not exist a bird of the size of an elephant? |
54612 | Why during thousands of generations has not the nervous structure giving this extreme discriminativeness dwindled away? |
54612 | Why is it that where agamogenesis prevails it is usually from time to time interrupted by gamogenesis? |
54612 | Why is this? |
54612 | Why is this? |
54612 | Why not assume"a fortuitous concourse of atoms"in its broad, simple form? |
54612 | Why should not all organisms, when supplied with sufficient materials, continue to grow as long as they live? |
54612 | Why should not omnipotence have been proved by the supernatural production of plants and animals everywhere throughout the world from hour to hour? |
54612 | Why should the inert_ Aphis_ and the swift- flying Emperor- butterfly be constructed on the same fundamental plan? |
54612 | Why should the thigh near the knee be twice as perceptive as the middle of the thigh? |
54612 | Why should there be no more somites in the Stick- insect, or other Phasmid a foot long, than there are in a small creature like the louse? |
54612 | Why should there exist this process of natural genesis? |
54612 | Why should they not have enlarged by deposit in them of superfluous materials? |
54612 | Why then do most of them run up during many preceding months? |
54612 | Why this unparalleled perceptiveness? |
54612 | Why under the down- covered body of a moth and under the hard wing- cases of a beetle, should there be discovered the same number of divisions? |
54612 | Why, then, should we suppose these rudiments to have become smaller? |
54612 | Will any one who contends that organisms were specially designed, assert that they could not have been so designed as to prevent suffering? |
54612 | With what other contrast between these classes, is this contrast connected? |
54612 | [ 26] What, now, are the implications? |
54612 | [ 53] How can the civilized races have been benefited in the struggle for life, by the slight decrease in these comparatively- small bones? |
54612 | and why he presents these difficulties to me, more especially; deliberately ignoring my own hypothesis of physiological units? |
54612 | and why is it that where agamogenesis prevails it is usually, from time to time, interrupted by gamogenesis? |
54612 | or again:--How can the act of secreting some defensive fluid correspond with some external danger which may never occur? |
54612 | or again:--How can the_ dynamical_ phenomena constituting perception correspond with the_ statical_ phenomena of the solid body perceived? |
54612 | or rather-- in what way does he conceive a new organism to be produced? |
54612 | or, if not, where and how did it pre- exist? |
54612 | or, indeed, how could it come to exist at all? |
54612 | still left unanswered the question--_why_ does gamogenesis recur? |
54612 | there does not arise the question-- Why were they deliberately inflicted? |
54612 | why were not their rates of multiplication, their degrees of intelligence, and their propensities, so adjusted that these sufferings might be escaped? |
