Pascal once said, the whole face of

And because his was a trifle bul

boxer, the eminent naturalist. Charles
Darwin, was almost prevented from
giving tha world his "revolutionary
doctrine of the "Survival of the Fit

This Incident, strange as It seems
was a turning point In Darwin's life
and an important factor In the
development of world history. For
the next five years Darwin visited
many countries, studying wlttf In
tense eagerness the slight differences

in life form which he noted every

was able to build the framework
of his famous theories on evolution
which he expressed many years later
in the great work, "On the Origin
of Species by Means of Natural
Selection, or the Preservation of
Favoured Races In the Struggle for
Life."
A new outlook on history was
born; the law of the survival of the
fittest was written Into history. On
the day Darwin's book was first
Issued, the entire edition of 1.250
copies was sold out. Never before
had such conclusive evidence been
presented for the case of evolution.
