Abstract
The size of an organism is by no means determined by pure chance: “Man, as a lung-using animal, cannot be as small as an insect, and vice versa. Only occasionally, as in the case of the Goliath beetle, do the sizes of beetles and mice meet and overlap. Thus, each group of animals has its upper and lower limits” (D’Arcy Thompson).
