But, if the evidencesadvanced below prove anything, they clearly demonstrate thatsome genera or groups, owing to certain combined biologicalfactors, have run far ahead, in certain evolutionary character-istics, of the average members of their group. It is of primeimportance then to learn what these factors have been, and howthey have operated. In the embryological development of every animal from thelower nemerteans upward, the first fundamental change notedin the multicellular embryo is the formation from the epi- Relation of Higher Animals to Man 547 dermis of a longitudinal tract that sinks inward to become thecentral nervous system.

These all correspond functionallyto certain tissues in higher plants, if we except the tonotactic,while in the animal, as in the plant, the response of the animalwhen these tissues are stimulated is a positive or negativechemotropic, heliotropic, paraheliotropic, thermotropic, geo-tropic, electrotropic, mechanotropic, or hydrotrop
