A Child’s View of Evolution

In his examination at school a little child gave the result of his research in the field of evolution as follows:—

The doctrine of evolution began with the beginning of life, and grew higher and higher until it at last regenerated into monkey. This process was so slow that neither the monkey nor the man knew anything about it.

Perhaps if older children were sufficiently free from scientific prejudices to enable them to speak the truth of their innermost minds with the same frankness as the little child, they would bear a similar testimony concerning evolution.
