| From zoology has arisen the study of transformism, which now dominates the whole of biology. |
| In no case can true variations claim to be of great importance in problems of transformism. |
| That is not quite without logical importance, for it shows that not biology alone has led to the transformism hypothesis. |
| These taxonomic rearrangements took place before Lamarck made any public declaration of his views on species transformism. |
| That is the Darwinian part of an explanation of transformism which may be conceded as an hypothesis. |
| If it is based only on the pure theory of transformism, there is nothing explained at all. |
