To this quote I can, incidentally, connect the view expressed in a great address, read by Professor Huxley at the opening ceremony the statue of Darwin in the South Kensington Museum. Solemnly rejecting the assumption that this ceremony provides an authoritative confirmation walking notions of organic evolution, he said that "science commits suicide when it becomes dogmatic". Releasing this article, I, in addition to broader motives guided also by the desire to highlight the fact that views on the origin of species was already among biologists too dogmatic the nature and narrowed, after it became generally accepted. Instead further expansion of broader views, digestible Darwin as he grew older, his followers took a step back to the views are more narrow than those which he always expressed. That's why here it is pertinent to recall the caution expressed by Professor Huxley. Whatever the opinion about the arguments and opinions expressed in this and previous articles, they may serve as proof of it was too early to consider finished the issues concerning organic evolution.
