The Origin of Degeneration
The violation of the system of nature

Why do diseases, degeneration and death exist? Are they a natural part of the universe and our existence that evolution was not able to obliterate even after millions of years, or is there another meaning? What is the cause of cannibalism in the animal kingdom? Where did predators come from? Are the oldest literary records speaking of a herbivorous lion and the non-existence of predators mere fairy-tales? What biochemical and morphological changes in the animal kingdom are behind these facts? Charles Darwin considered the existence of parasites and predators to be the proof of the millions of years of evolution. How does the professor of zoology view the present situation and its possible causes?
