Excerpt from The British Revolution Another prevalent modern conception that finds its true place in the synthetic principle 'is that of the Superman. The idea of Nietzsche is a travesty of biology; highly differentiated species do not as a rule undergo great modifications in Nature their place is taken by some less specialised race still capable of a closer adaptation to the environment. On biological principles we should look for a Superman to arise aeons hence from some now lowly and barbarous stock, as yet perhaps sub-human the progress would be from Subman to Superman, and our own efforts at improve ment would have little effect on the consummation. But With our intelligence we stand on the threshold of a greater development; a new type is emerging which will supersede Man as he now is in his puny isolation of spirit, as the multicellular forms superseded the Protozoa. Our line of progress is no longer bio logical but logical, not through exploitation to super species but through synthesis to a new entity, Organic Society, the creation of Evolution Creatrice.
