Excerpt from Evolution by Atrophy: In Biology and Sociology This treatise, compiled in connection with a scheme for research work in general sociology, elaborated in June 1894, was presented to the Institute of Sociology at Brussels. In drawing up the programme of the Institute, the founder, M. Ernest Solvay, after having mentioned the questions which especially called for the investigation of his colleagues, added the following statement: - "The Institute of Sociology will take part in the labours of the modern school of Sociology, the object of which is to ascertain the normal conditions under which societies exist, and the laws which govern their evolution. But the advances of Natural Science in this century have not yet been sufficiently assimilated by those Sciences most closely related to it, and it is from such assimilation that the most important additions to knowledge may be expected."
