of the caloric grow more and more frequent — pass successively from the shades
of bright red to dark red (sic), to white, and develope, as its temperature rises, heat and light, — so the living sensitive
cells, in presence
of the incitations that solicit them, exalt themselves progressively as to their most interior sensibility, enter into a phase
of erethism, and at a certain number
of vibrations, set free (dégagent) pain as a physiological expression
of this same sensibility superheated to a red - white.»

And let's remember that evolution, while it's a
theory, is a
theory about the beginning and the transformation
of life based on things we have observed, namely that
cells change and mutate and that those mutations can produce

celled organisms which mutate and combine into multi-cellular organisms which mutate, adapt, and grow over time into new forms
of life.

of ancient brains...» The other major limiting factor at the moment is the lack
of suitable fossil skulls for such studies.
