This was the origination of the new character itself, and it is easily seen that this incipient change is to be considered as the real one.
From a scientific point of view however, it is [759] ordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to discern the part which each of the three great branches of variability has taken in the origination of the product.
The fact that the origination of such forms is accessible to direct investigation is proven quite independently of all further considerations.
Many organs and many qualities may be lost in the origination of a variety.
The conception of latency of characters as the common source of the origination of varieties, either in the positive or in the negative way, leads to some rules on variability, which are known under the names given to them by Darwin.

Perhaps you may think that this is not correct, that there are other forms of change besides origination and decease.
Thus all origination and decease, as well as the differential qualities of certain kinds of matter, are now explained by the mixing and unmixing of the four elements.

In this case species wander away from their native homes, and the course of their wanderings is marked by the origination of new species springing up en route.
The question as to whether natural selection has been the only principle concerned in the origination of species, is quite distinct from that as to the accuracy of the above definition.
The Middle Ages had no suspicion that religious faith forbad inquiry into the natural origination of the different forms of life.
