“Last Words on Evolution.” A popular Retrospect and Summary by Ernst Haeckel. Translated from the German. Cloth, price $1.00, postpaid. Peter Eckler, Publisher, 35 Fulton St., New York. This volume is in the form of three lectures delivered by Professor Haeckel at Berlin. It had been reported that Haeckel was weakening in his evolution theories, and that he was going over to the Jesuits. Hence he was prevailed upon, despite his advanced age, to deliver these three lectures in order to show his present position. He gives in this volume a short running account of the development of the theory of evolution during the last hundred years. He makes it plain that he thinks that the evolution theory has overthrown the story of the creation as told in the Bible. He also makes it plain to the reflective reader that all he can say for evolution is that it is a “theory” and nothing more. A group of facts is taken and from these facts the “theory” is advanced that man must have developed from lower forms of life on thru the monkey to his present condition. It is an interesting fact that he has found many of the best scientific minds of this time who do not endorse this theory of evolution.
