These facts have no explanation in the theory of special creation, but are easily explained on the supposition that the course of evolution has been different in the two cases owing to different histories in past geological times. (5) The facts of paltzozoology (or the geological history of animals) are also in favour of evolution. It is clear that this is the only direction in which we could look for a complete proof'of the theory, since all the other evidence does no more than.
