Capitolo 24
unsolved from the theory of one-birth of the Christianity and the Judaism. But
this theory of the "continuity of the germ-plasma" it pushes the question of
the heredity in the door of Reincarnation. If modern science can explain
thing that ordinary actions it is and because and as these germs they hold back those
particularity and tendencies, then the answer will be complete and not
