Excerpt from The History of Creation, Vol. 2 of 2: Or the Development of the Earth and Its Inhabitants by the Action of Natural Causes

This genealogical conception of the organic system doubt less belongs to futurity alone. But with it as our basis we may now turn our attention to one of the most essential, but also one of the most difficult, tasks of the non miraculous history of creation, namely, to the actual con struction of the Organic Pedigree. Let us see how far we are already able to point out all the different organic forms as the divergent descendants of a single or of some few common original forms. But how can we construct the actual pedigree of the animal and vegetable group of forms from our knowledge Of them, at present so scanty and fragmentary? The answer to this question lies in what we have already remarked of the parallelism of the three series of development - in the important causal relation which connects the palaeontological development of all organic tribes with the embryological development of indi viduals, and with the systematic development of groups.
