- W4250019887 abstract "IN the Rationalist Press Association Annual for 1925 there is an interesting and suggestive article by Sir Arthur Keith on “Capital as a factor in Evolution.” The gist of it is that we see in the biological order a closely similar use of saving for the purpose of higher development to that which we see in the sociological order in the use of capital. Sir Arthur develops the argument in considerable detail both in the case of the fowl, where the yolk-saving habit is carried to a very high point, and also in that group of fishes which lie near the ancestral line of the higher vertebrates, namely, the Selachians (sharks, rays and dog-fish). The argument is a continuation of Francis Balfour's discovery of forty years ago that the key to many of the obscure problems surrounding the development of the higher vertebrates may be found by studying the embryology of the Selachians. This is specially true of the structures which allow the young to draw their nourishment from the womb of the mother. The placenta is the most wonderful of these devices gradually developed. In the case of man it is just in the later intra-uterine period that the new and characteristic features of the brain and body are invented and worked out. We may then fairly continue the argument to the period of dependence prolonged after birth and after childhood. Only capital, that is saving, makes this possible. Knowledge is absorbed and increased owing to the shelter and the leisure provided by capital. This is, of course, only one aspect of the case for capitalism, but for those who care first for the intellectual stability and progress of mankind it is perhaps the most important: it is unfortunately the most easily overlooked by the Communists either of Russia or anywhere else." @default.
