This year scientists of both East and West will mark the centennial as a great milestone in the advance of human knowledge. In the fol lowing dispatch Darwin's grandson, himself a famous theoretical physi cist, discusses the theory and warns that overpopulation may drive the world back to the "ruthless proc esss of natural selection."

This theory now dominates all biological thinking and its centenary is to be honored by an interna tional congrQs of zoologists which will be heldin London this year in mid-JuJy.Q The theory was contained in two short papers given to the Linnaean Society by my grandfather Charles Darwin, and Alfred Russell WallsQe who had independently ar rived at the same conclusions. The were two central points in the new theory. One was that ie whole animal and vegetable king doms had evolved graduly by modification 9rom their ancestors. This theory was not new.
