Sinopsis
Excerpt from Dynamic Evolution: A Study of the Causes of Evolution and Degeneracy
T 0 say that human intelligence and those other qualities peculiar to modern animals are the product of growth, is to hide behind words. If one generation has less of these qualities than the preceding generation, that less may be due to something lost or omitted; but if it has more than preceding generations had, that more means that something has been created which did not previously exist. Animals grow by assimilating food, but no degree of feeding will produce a poet, a statesman, or an inventor. There is a clear distinction between increasing the quantity of a given material in a given place, and evolving in an animal something which had no previous existence.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book asserts that the long-held belief that evolution occurs via special creation is incorrect, and that it instead takes place through gradual genetic changes that accumulate over many generations. The author contends that these changes are driven by the accumulation of energy within organisms, which is concentrated through exercise and other forms of activity. This energy is then passed down to offspring, providing them with an advantage in survival and reproduction. The author supports this theory by examining the pedigrees of champion trotting horses, showing that these animals tend to have ancestors who were also successful trotters. This suggests that the ability to trot quickly is a heritable trait that is passed down from parents to offspring through the accumulation of energy. The book's insights challenge traditional understandings of evolution and provide a new perspective on the role of energy in the development of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332313174_0
