Excerpt from The Method of Evolution: A Review of the Present Attitude of Science Toward the Question of the Laws and Forces Which Have Brought About the Origin of Species
It is becoming evident that the future investigation of the problem of Evolution must be by new men. Nearly all who undertook the study of the subject under the stimulus of the early writings of Darwin have passed away, or are beyond the age when they may be expected to carry the discussion into new fields. Even a later generation that contributed largely to the moulding of our ideas is also beyond the age when we may expect from them much in the way of advance for the future. The discussion must hereafter be in the hands of a generation of scientists whose first introduction into science found it illumined by the light of evolution, and who have not been obliged to convince themselves of the truth of the conception. We may feel sure that we have seen the last of the contributions to this subject which will come from the older group of scientists, and in the future must look for new minds to take the legacies which have been handed down, using them as foundation stones upon which to build a more consistent whole.
