[CG]That the epidermis is thicker on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet in the infant long before birth, may be attributable to the inherited effects of use or pressure. It can hardly be held that the thickening of the skin in these parts is of elimination value.
[CH]The instances cited are from "Animals and Plants under Domestication."
[CI]It is beyond the scope of this book to give the evidences of evolution. Such evidence from embryology, from distribution, and from palæontology, is now abundant. For palæontological evidence, see Nicholson's "Manual of Palæontology," 3rd edit., especially the second volume on "Vertebrates," by R. Lydekker.
