"Man had his origin in an environment environ-ment that subjected him to frequent, rapid and extreme changes from heat to cold, and from dryness to dampness," damp-ness," says Doctor James, "and from a study of his anatomy and physiology, physiol-ogy, as well as from the teaching of the law of Weismann, we know that we modern men are equipped with the same body device as were our Cromag-non Cromag-non progenitors. Weismann's law is to the effect that acquired characters are not transmitted, and its corollary is equally true, that unused or abused characters are not lost, so that we may think of all congenital characteristics, character-istics, whether good or bad, as being entailed, and, as far as the race is concerned, as being permanent."
