About this book
The Story of the Living Machine is by H. W. Conn. The preface says that the statement that the living body is a machine is frequently made without any very accurate idea as to what it means. The text says that the explanation of the past is to be found in the present, and that an application of the forces still at work to-day on the earth's surface, but continued throughout long ages, will furnish the interpretation of the history written in the rocks.
The text says that if this chromatin thread consists of a series of units, each representing certain hereditary characters, then the division of the thread by splitting will give rise to a double series of threads. The text says it is clearly enough demonstrated that the activities of the protoplasmic body are dependent upon the relation of its different parts.
