CHAPTER XII
THE CLOSE OF THE PRE-EVOLUTIONARY PERIOD
The influence of the cell-theory on morphology was not altogether happy.
The cell-theory was from the first physiological; cells were looked upon as centres of force rather than elements of form, and the explanation of all the activities of the organism was sought in the action of these separate dynamic centres. There resulted a certain loss of feeling for the problems of form. The organism was seen no longer as a cunningly constructed complex of organs, tissues and cells; it had become a mere cell-aggregate; the higher elements of form were disregarded and ignored.
