Sinopsis

Excerpt from Science and Music

The lantern of science, throwing its light down the long corridors of time, enables us to trace out the gradual evo lution of terrestrial life. Far away in the dim distances of the remote past we see it emerging from lowly beginnings - possibly single-cell organisms on the sea shore - and gradually increasing in complexity until it culminates in the higher mammals of to-day, and in man, the most complicated form of life which has so far emerged from the workshop of nature. And as living beings become more complex, they acquire an ever more intricate battery of sense-organs which help them to find their way about the world, to escape danger, to capture their food and avoid being themselves captured as food.
