Note 1640 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

It is enough to indicate the necessary correlation of this subject with the transformation theory of J. B. A. Lamarck as enunciated in his Philosophie Zoologique (Paris, 1809; again, 1873), which Cuvier opposed; and with the new phase of it in what is called Darwinism, a theory of the survival of the fittest, leading ultimately to man. Lyell (Principles of Geology, 11th ed., ii, 495) presents the diverse sides of the question, which is one hardly germane to our present purpose.
