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?
