The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Historical Lecturers and Essays by Charles Kingsley: it and the Highlands of Thibet an ever-increasing breadth of icy
land, destroying animals, and driving whole races southward, in
search of the summer and the sun?
What if the first link in the chain, as yet conceivable by man,
should be the cosmic changes in the distribution of land and water,
which filled the mouths of the Siberian rivers with frozen carcases
of woolly mammoth and rhinoceros; and those again, doubt it not, of
other revolutions, reaching back and back, and on and on, into the
infinite unknown? Why not? For so are all human destinies
Bound with gold chains unto the throne of God.
