He will be forced to admit that the close resemblance of the embryo of man to that, for instance, of a dog the construction of his skull, limbs and whole frame on the same plan with that of other mammals, independently of the uses to which the parts may be put the occasional re-appearance of various structures, for instance of several muscles, which man does not normally possess, but which are common to the Quadrumana and a crowd of analogous facts all point in the plainest manner to the conclusion that man is the co-descendant with other mammals of a common progenitor.
Late in life Johnson went to Raleigh and caused to be erected a modest tablet over the spot pointed out as the grave of his progenitor, saying, I was told by persons claiming to have been present, "I place this stone over the last earthly abode of my alleged father." Johnson, in the saying of the countryside, "out-married himself." His wife was a plain woman, but came of good family.
Among the passengers brought by The Fortune were some of great helpfulness. Philip De La Noye, progenitor of the Delano family in America, John and Kenelm Winslow and Jonathan Brewster were eligible men to join the group of younger men, John Alden, John Howland and others.
Nominalism is found to be a chief ingredient among English materialists, just as it is the first expression of materialism generally. The real progenitor of English materialism and of all modern experimental science is Bacon. Natural science was regarded by him as the true science, and physics as the principal part of natural science.
He had two tunes only, one was "In my Cottage near a Wood," and the other was the Easter Hymn; he had been trying to whistle them all his life, but had never succeeded; he whistled them as a clever bullfinch might whistle them he had got them, but he had not got them right; he would be a semitone out in every third note as though reverting to some remote musical progenitor, who had known none but the Lydian or the Phrygian mode, or whatever would enable him to go most wrong while still keeping the tune near enough to be recognised.
As the purpose of this remarkable avenue dawned upon me I could not but admire the native shrewdness of the ancient progenitor of the Mezops who hit upon this novel plan to throw his enemies from his track and delay or thwart them in their attempts to follow him to his deep-buried cities.
With a cheerful heart he presented him before his progenitor and worshipped his feet. Beholding Mahadeva prostrated at his feet, Brahma took him up with his left hand. Having thus raised Mahadeva up, Brahma, that puissant and one Lord of all creatures, then addressed his son, whom he met after a long time, in these words. "'The Grandsire said, "Welcome art thou, O thou of mighty arms.
Darwin's conclusion is attained are these: That observed and admitted variations spring up in the course of descents from a common progenitor. That many of these variations tend to an improvement upon the parent stock. That, by a continued selection of these improved specimens as the progenitors of future stock, its powers may be unlimitedly increased.
But how could he possibly arrive at so grotesque a conception as that the progenitor of his tribe was the sun, or the moon, or a particular star? No observation of surrounding phenomena affords the slightest suggestion of any such possibility.
Even his faith in the Great Spirit is a graft upon his system, derived from the first missionaries; and, eagerly as he adopted it, it is probable that its meaning, to him, is little more exalted, than that of the "Great Beaver," which he believes to be the first progenitor, if not the actual creator, of that useful animal.
