Heredity,too, has its problems. These we shall take up in anotherchapter. That variations exist is too obvious to everyone to need anydiscussion. Any litter of kittens or puppies, of mice or pigs,shows us the differences in pattern, shape, and physiology of in-dividuals born at one time and of the same parents. In wildnature the variations among brothers and sisters are no less realthan among these domesticated animals. 131 132 EVOLUTION AND ANIMAL LIFE Collect a few thousand individuals, at one time in one place,of a single species of insect, as a spotted ladybird beetle; thengo over these carefully, looking for variation in some singlecharacteristic, as the color pattern.
