Sir,-"G.H.D." states that "evolution is on the eve of being abandoned." Nothing is further from the truth. On the contrary, it is just becoming generally accepted by the intellectually-minded. He also states that "Haldane and ‘Huxley expound no coherent theory of evolution." They in fact point out that evolution has been traced. out in fossils left in rocks. They not only state that man and the higher apes have a common simian ancestor, but also, that man has probably resembled amphibian, reptiliat, and lower mammalian species at different times in his evolution. Animal Biology, an ideal example of Haldane’s and Huxley’s work, would enlighten "G.H.D."
