Description
Excerpt from The Order of Nature an Essay
Many of the characteristics of inorganic nature, like the stability of the solar system and the en during movements oi the waters of the earth, are the very condition of existence for life as We know it and the source of diversity in organic evolution. This is perhaps one of the oldest interpretations of nature. But since Darwin's time the fitness of the environment has only occasionally aroused passing comment without ever entering the main current of scientific thought. And yet, whatever may be the final judgment of natural science upon either organic or inorganic harmonies, biological fitness is manifestly a mutual relationship. For, however present order may have developed out of past con fusion, the organism and the environment each fits and is fitted by the other.
