Evolutionary Origins are Not so Fanciful

Published by ideonexus

If a single cell, under appropriate conditions, becomes a man in the space of a few years, there can surely be no difficulty in understanding how, under appropriate conditions, a cell may, in the course of untold millions of years, give origin to the human race.

Herbert Spencer, The Principles of biology (1898)

Notes

Each human goes from a single cell to fully-formed human in just a few years, so why not the same over billions of years?
