At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers Considering the parallelism which prevails throughout organic nature between palaeontological and embryonic development, it is therefore improbable that the oldest Insects should have possessed fewer segments than some of their descendants. Facts and Arguments for Darwin These last, moreover, he regards as extremely rude in comparison with others of the stone period in France, which can be proved palaeontologically, at least by strong negative evidence, to be of subsequent date. The Antiquity of Man From palaeontological geology it receives in well-determined fossil remains a clue by which to discriminate the different stratified formations, and to trace the grand onward march of organized existence upon this planet.

At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers According to Mr. Belt, who has devoted much attention to these beds, there are already palaeontological data for subdividing the Lingula Flags into three sections. The Student's Elements of Geology There is no definite break, either stratigraphical or palaeontological, at the top of the Pliocene, and it is most natural to regard the Tertiary epoch as still in progress. The Antiquity of Man But no such lithological reason, betokening geographical changes that would affect living creatures, can be adduced as a universally applicable explanation of the occurrence and limitation of palaeontological zones. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 11, Slice 6 "Geodesy" to "Geometry" 2011-09-19T02:00:10.473Z It was these considerations which were the parents of the generalisation that a palaeontological record can only be preserved during those periods in which long-continued slow subsidence is going on. Geological Observations on South America The family and transition forms demanded from palaeontology by Darwinism for its family-trees, constructed not empirically but a priori, are nowhere to be found among the abundant materials which palaeontological investigation has already produced. At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers In this reform they were aided by a suggestion of Mr. Lonsdale, who, after studying the Devonshire fossils, perceived that they belonged to a peculiar palaeontological type of intermediate character between the Carboniferous and Silurian. The Student's Elements of Geology I think, on the whole, I like the geological, or rather palaeontological, discussion best: it seems to me excellent, and admirably cautious. More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1 Although the authors supposed their fossils to be relics of Noah’s flood, their work must be acknowledged to mark a distinct onward stage in the palaeontological department of geology. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 11, Slice 6 "Geodesy" to "Geometry" 2011-09-19T02:00:10.473Z In other words, our problem is palaeontological, and the method pursued must be the same as that employed in dealing with other fossil remains. Evolution of Theology: an Anthropological Study Cuvier, in the "Discours sur les Revolutions de la Surface du Globe," strangely credits himself, and has ever since been credited by others, with the invention of a new method of palaeontological research. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology That scarcely any one of the Monte Bolca fish should have been found in any other locality in Europe, is a striking illustration of the extreme imperfection of the palaeontological record. The Student's Elements of Geology And if this be the case, the late advances which have been made in palaeontological discovery open out a new field for such prophecies. On the Method of Zadig It has even been found to be applicable to the Palaeozoic rocks, which are now subdivided into palaeontological zones. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 11, Slice 6 "Geodesy" to "Geometry" 2011-09-19T02:00:10.473Z Scarcely any palaeontological discovery is more striking than the fact that the forms of life change almost simultaneously throughout the world. The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition While there are thus no palaeontological grounds for the hypothesis that the Vascular plants came of a Bryophytic stock, the question of their actual origin remains unsolved. Darwin and Modern Science That our palaeontological collections are very imperfect, is admitted by every one. On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life On the other hand, while the palaeontological record can never prove that a species arose by mutations, it does sometimes show that species arise by very gradual modification. The Story of Evolution It was in France that palaeontological geology began to be cultivated in a scientific spirit. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 11, Slice 6 "Geodesy" to "Geometry" 2011-09-19T02:00:10.473Z In all cases positive palaeontological evidence may be implicitly trusted; negative evidence is worthless, as experience has so often shown. The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition It must, therefore, be admitted that one outcome of the progress of embryological and palaeontological research for the last 50 years is negative. Darwin and Modern Science Scarcely any palaeontological discovery is more striking than the fact, that the forms of life change almost simultaneously throughout the world. On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life Hitherto we have considered the palaeontological record of plants in relation to Evolution. Darwin and Modern Science The study, however, continued to be pursued in Germany, where the influence of Werner’s enthusiasm still led men to enter the petrographical rather than the palaeontological domain. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 11, Slice 6 "Geodesy" to "Geometry" 2011-09-19T02:00:10.473Z The subject is clearly one which must be investigated by other methods than those of the palaeontologist; still there are certain important points involved, on which the palaeontological record appears to bear. Darwin and Modern Science Two directions were from the first apparent in palaeontological research—a stratigraphical and a biological. Darwin and Modern Science The rapid sketch given in the present essay can do no more than call attention to a few salient points, in which the palaeontological records of plants has an evident bearing on the Darwinian theory. Darwin and Modern Science There was only one alternative to the old orthodox view of independent creation, namely the bold acceptance of land-connections to an extent for which geological and palaeontological science was not yet ripe. Darwin and Modern Science Then came more and more to the front the importance of the geological record, hand in hand with the palaeontological data and the search for the natural affinities, the genetic system of the organisms. Darwin and Modern Science To present any adequate account of the palaeontological record from the evolutionary standpoint, would require a large volume and a singularly unequal, broken and disjointed history it would be. Darwin and Modern Science Thus one of the most puzzling of palaeontological questions is in a fair way to receive a satisfactory answer. Darwin and Modern Science In spite of the numerous and valuable palaeontological discoveries made since the publication of "The Origin of Species", the importance of the first of these two geological chapters is as great as ever. Darwin and Modern Science In the famous tenth and eleventh chapters of the "Origin", the palaeontological evidence is examined at length and the imperfection of the geological record is strongly emphasised. Darwin and Modern Science From the first it was obvious that one of the most searching tests of the evolutionary theory would be given by the advance of palaeontological discovery. Darwin and Modern Science So far, however, as the palaeontological record shows, the Monocotyledons were little if at all later in their appearance than the Dicotyledons, though always subordinate in numbers. Darwin and Modern Science If the indications of affinity with Sphenophylls are of any value the Lycopods are open to suspicion of reduction from a megaphyllous ancestry, but there is no direct palaeontological evidence for such a history.
