It should be noted the other side of the question: what relative value this factor. If incremental development of muscles and bones can be transmitted inherited; if, as was recognized by Darwin, there are various other changes in the structure caused by use and disuse and imply inheritance of this kind; if, as suggested by the Duke of Angelski acquired traits are inherited, the scope of this factors of organic evolution, is enormous. Not only every muscle, but every nerve and nerve center, every blood vessel, all the inside and almost any bone can grow and shrink under its influence. This follow the conclusion that, with the exception of parts performing passive functions, such as the skin and the bones that form the skull, almost every organ in the body can mutate in subsequent generations due to increase or decrease of its functions; and except for a few cases where the change caused is one of those that contribute to the experience in exceptional degree, such a body would be altered thus regardless of natural selection. Although this factor is able to provide only a small effect on the plant world and play only a subordinate role in the world of the lower animals, nevertheless, seeing that all the active organs all animals are subject to his influence, we need to acknowledge him great value. The Duke Angelski refers to the value attributed to this the factor "a comic".
