Excerpt from Heredity and the Origin of Species

The surface of the earth is inhabited to-day by hundreds of thousands of forms of life, which upon analysis are found to be separable into groups or species, with well-marked and characteristic attributes, which may be transmitted from generation to generation. The strata beneath the surface are found to contain the remains of thousands of other forms, now extinct, but which show certain general relationships to the existing organisms. If we piece together the actual records, and take the backward bearing of our information, we arrive at a period sometime within the last six hundred thousand centuries, when living matter was more indeterminate in the forms which it assumed, and was, perhaps, quite unlike any protoplasm we meet at the present time.

From this primitive substance series of organisms have been produced, which, in the successive stages of the earth's history show an increasing complexity as the present epoch is approached, and which embrace more numerous forms with the advance of time.
