E. Réti: Darwin's Influence on Hungarian Medical Thought 169 he at work in nature . Darwin found this in the selection of the fittest which is produced by the struggle for survival . If the organisms had in fact the ability to turn their life-functions always toward an expedient goal, this would break through the laws of the forces of nature and would re-introduce the concept of miracles into natural science The following lines express the Darwinist teaching with attractive conciseness : Nature does not work according to a single scheme. All the genetic factors work at once and together and very often it cannot be determined which of them is decisive in bringing about a variation. In the final analysis all development depends on the effects of environmental factors. These produce the changes, these cause that some organ is subject to especially heavy use or is hardly in use ; the external circumstances create favourable or unfavourable conditions for living and so produce the struggle for survival in this or in that form. But the fact that this irregular play of forces has perfected living creatures from the unicellular amoeba to the human being, can be clarified only by a single natural scientific explanation, namely selection ."
