Document Summary

Inventories of everything he saw on his travels. He started to recognise that as you moved around the world animals that had similar morphology had adapted to live in their own specific areas of living (big cats) Contradictory to everything that we know about now. The essences of these animals has been modified to help these cats survive in their own plains. Whence countless groups of vegetation spring, and breathing realms of fin and feet and wing. The story of evolution in a poem. Imperfect organisms that arrived on the earth too. Some phenomenal catastrophe that changes the animal composition on the planet. Speculated that the animals didn"t make it onto noah"s ark. Darwin"s five theories no constancy of species. The laying down of the rock takes many thousands of years. Slow, long, and gradual change of the world for millions/billions of years. Everyone is talking about change over time.
