Excerpt from Isis Unveiled, Vol. 1: A Master-Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology; Science, Section II And compare it with the theory of natural selection enunciated by Darwin and Wallace. It may be that we shall find as much reason to credit the ancients with originality in this direction as in that which we have been considering.
