Darwin Considers Intermediaries Between Species
I have found it difficult, when looking at any two species, to avoid picturing to myself, forms directly intermediate between them. But this is a wholly false view; we should always look for forms intermediate between each species and a common but unknown progenitor; and the progenitor will generally have differed in some respects from all of its modified descendants.
Notes:
But recognizes that this line of thinking is misleading, because species have common ancestors that are something different from both their descendants.
