Do all the differences, infinite in number, which distinguish the one animal from the other, arise each from some difference in the structure of the respective germs ? Even if we admit this as possible, we shall be called upon by the advocates of Pangenesis to admit still greater marvels. For the microscopic germ, according to this theory, is no mere individual, but a representative body,...

Page 304 - I cannot conceive, for example, how the phenomena of consciousness, as such, and apart from the physical proces by which they are called into existence, are to be brought within the bounds of physical science. Take the simplest possible example, the feeling of redness.
