Evolution in Modern Thought Now the independent study of embryology suggests exactly the same pedigree, and the entirely independent testimony of palaeontology is precisely in harmony with the already confirmed theory arrived at in this way. Text Book of Biology, Part 1: Vertebrata But palaeontology fails to support the theory of evolution by minute variations. At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers In 1855 he retired from service and settled in London, where he devoted himself mainly to the study of zoology and palaeontology. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Part 4 "Bulgaria" to "Calgary" The reading of Le Conte's and Dana's text-books of geology and various other treatises supplied the data on palaeontology embodied in the first chapters of the book. Evolution An Investigation and a Critique In many cases the search has led to brilliant results, but, as in the case of palaeontology, in many others the light that was hoped for has not been forthcoming. Recent Developments in European Thought Workers in an entirely independent province, that of palaeontology, completely endorse this supposition. Text Book of Biology, Part 1: Vertebrata The materials of investigation from the field of palaeontology have also wonderfully increased during these decades. At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers In the field he had compared Studer's meagre sections, and consulted the available authorities on physical geology, though he had never entered upon the more popular sister-science of palaeontology. The Life of John Ruskin The way of palaeontology has but just been laid open to us. Critiques and Addresses The Academy is divided into six committees: mathematics and astronomy; physics and engineering; chemistry; geology and palaeontology; biology; and anthropology. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 The sciences of geology, palaeontology, and, to a certain extent, biology are sciences of observation, and but few of their conclusions can be reached or tested by experimentation. Reflections and Comments 1865-1895 At the outset it is to be noted that for various reasons palaeontology is unable to execute this momentous task in its full extent. At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers It is wonderful how close a parallel to classical training could be made out of that palaeontology to which I refer. Science & Education On the second supposition, we have to face the fact that there is very little evidence from palaeontology of the former presence of the American type in Eurasia. American Big Game in Its Haunts It will be preferable to turn to the positive facts of palaeontology, and to inquire what they tell us. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays Now, Dr. Taylor, by his own confession, is no authority in either geology, biology, or palaeontology. Reflections and Comments 1865-1895 Indeed, family-trees were constructed without regard for palaeontology, almost exclusively from an examination of present conditions, and sometimes the author did not even shrink from falsification. At the Deathbed of Darwinism A Series of Papers Viewed in this light the facts of palaeontology receive a meaning—upon any other hypothesis I am unable to see, in the slightest degree, what knowledge or signification we are to draw out of them. Darwiniana : Essays — Volume 02 With all the light that palaeontology throws upon the animal life of the past, can we see where amid the revel of these bizarre forms our ancestor hid himself? Time and Change Is palaeontology able to succeed where physical geology fails? Discourses Biological and Geological Essays We are not satisfied with the word, notwithstanding the precedent of palaeontology; since ontology, the Science of being, has an established meaning as referring to mental existence—i.e., is a synonym for a department of metaphysics. Darwiniana; Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism 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 Though a man be well versed in a science such as palaeontology it does not follow that he will view it in its philosophical relations. Born in Exile Still my imagination carried me away amongst the wonderful speculations of palaeontology. A Journey to the Interior of the Earth Standard writers on palaeontology, as has been seen, assume that she can. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays Ten minutes of palaeontology ensued; and she was leading the way back to the drawing-room, when he exclaimed, 'Have you heard about the match, Miss May?' The Trial But what is the good of it all in the face of Leviticus on the one hand and of palaeontology on the other? Mr.Gladstone and Genesis Those who have attended to the progress of palaeontology are aware that evidence of the character which I have defined has been produced in considerable and continually-increasing quantity during the last few years. Lectures on Evolution But, although palaeontology is a comparatively youthful scientific speciality, the mass of materials with which it has to deal is already prodigious. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology There seems, then, no escape from the admission that neither physical geology, nor palaeontology, possesses any method by which the absolute synchronism of two strata can be demonstrated. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays Abundant illustrations of this truth will occur to every one who is familiar with palaeontology; none is more suitable than the case of the so-called Belemnites. On the Method of Zadig His researches were chiefly connected with the sciences of geology and palaeontology, and were directed especially to the elucidation of the characters, classification, history, geological and geographical distribution of recent and fossil Brachiopoda. Life and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2 Passing from these difficulties, the other great leading facts in palaeontology agree admirably with the theory of descent with modification through variation and natural selection. The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition In tracing its subsequent progress I must confine myself to the province of biology, and, indeed, to the influence of palaeontology upon zoological morphology. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology The reply to this question will become obvious as the inquiry into the results of palaeontology is pushed further. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays Cuvier made careful studies, especially of fossil vertebrates, from the standpoint of zoology and was thus the founder of palaeontology as a biological science. Darwin and Modern Science Passing from these difficulties, all the other great leading facts in palaeontology seem to me simply to follow on the theory of descent with modification through natural selection. On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life Buffon enumerates five classes of these monuments of the past history of the earth, and they are all facts of palaeontology. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology It is my object to mark the epochs of palaeontology, not to recount all the events of its history. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology And to this end let us define somewhat more exactly the extent of these pretensions of palaeontology. Discourses Biological and Geological Essays The historical sequence of events, of which an organism is the expression, can only be treated hypothetically with the help of facts supplied by comparative morphology, the history of development, geographical distribution, and palaeontology. Darwin and Modern Science Thus the broad outlines of palaeontology, in so far as it is the common property of both the geologist and the biologist, were marked out at the close of the last century. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology I will now sum up the results of this sketch of the rise and progress of palaeontology. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology That which I just now called the fundamental problem of palaeontology, the question which has to be settled before any other can be profitably discussed, is this, What is the nature of fossils? The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology Happily, the future of palaeontology is independent of all hypothetical considerations. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology The ludicrous discrepances which often appear between the phylogenetic "trees" of various writers have cast an undue discredit upon the science and have led many zoologists to ignore palaeontology altogether as unworthy of serious attention. Darwin and Modern Science Cuvier's immense authority and his commanding personality dominated scientific thought for more than a generation and marked out the line which the development of palaeontology was to follow. Darwin and Modern Science In palaeontology too the doctrine of the immutability of species, though vehemently maintained and reasserted, was gradually weakening. Darwin and Modern Science The person who rendered this good service to palaeontology was Nicolas Steno, professor of anatomy in Florence, though a Dane by birth. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology The conclusion is reached, that, in view of this extreme imperfection, palaeontology could not reasonably be expected to yield complete and convincing proof of the evolutionary theory. Darwin and Modern Science It is fully confirmed by all the arguments of comparative anatomy and embryology, of palaeontology and physiology; and all the research of the subsequent forty years has gone to establish it. Darwin and Modern Science Yet, aside from these inevitable difficulties, he concludes, that "the other great leading facts in palaeontology agree admirably with the theory of descent with modification through variation and natural selection." Darwin and Modern Science Darwin's theory gave an entirely new significance and importance to palaeontology. Darwin and Modern Science The settlement of the nature of fossils led at once to the next advance of palaeontology, viz. its application to the deciphering of the history of the earth. The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology The origin of the mammalia, as a class, offers a problem of which palaeontology can as yet present no definitive solution. Darwin and Modern Science Concerning the interrelations of the various orders and families of birds, palaeontology has as yet little to tell us. Darwin and Modern Science |
