It will not be
attempted in this discussion to analyze the theory of evolution as it pertains
to the origin of man. Evolution has performed great things in the improvement
and development of various species of plant and animal life. However, when it
is advanced as a theory of the origin of man, the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints denounces it as a false theory. (Melvin Westenskow, Treasures
