The fact that many animal species had died out, that there were no more flying saurians and no more mammoths, did not interfere with the fact that contemporaneous with Man the original animal went on existing in unaltered form, the unicellular infusorian, the microbe, with one opening in its cell body for ingestion and another for egestion — no more was required to be an animal, and not much more to be a human being either, in most cases.
Daß viele Tierformen ausgestorben seien, daß es keine fliegenden Echsen und keine Mammuts mehr gebe, hindere nicht, daß neben dem Menschen das gerade schon formbeständige Urtier fortlebe, der Einzeller, das Infusor, die Mikrobe, mit einer Pforte zur Einfuhr und einer zur Ausfuhr an ihrem Zeil-Leib, – mehr brauche es nicht, um Tier zu sein, und um Mensch zu sein, brauche es meistens auch nicht viel mehr.
