We have seen that the amount of variation possible in any species is undoubtedly very great, and, so far as can be discovered, it is practically unlimited; that species and varieties merge into each other in such a way as to be undlstinguishable; that the only definition ever given of a species breaks down, since hybrids are not universally sterile, although they usually are so in animals, but the presence of a few exceptions is sufficient to show that there is no rigid law separating species. We have seen that the study of the animal kingdom reveals the fact of some fundamental bond of union uniting the whole together. This unity is shown by the possibility of a classification which is not artificial but natural, since actual relations between species are manifested in the organic world. This unitary principle is shown by the past history of the world as revealed by fossils. There has been from the earliest times a progress...
