``As I told you before,'' said Charlton, ``it's conditions that make the human animal whatever it is. It's in the harness of conditions--the treadmill of conditions-- the straight jacket of conditions. Change the conditions and you change the animal.''英文原著 · 《The Conflict》
There must therefore be an intrinsic connection between the conditions and the structural adaptations of the organism, and, SINCE THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE CANNOT BE DETERMINED BY THE ANIMAL ITSELF, THE ADAPTATIONS MUST BE CALLED FORTH BY THE CONDITIONS.英文原著 · 《Darwin and Modern Science》
Let there be a species which has varied into two forms, each adapted to existing conditions (211/1. "Existing conditions," means of course new conditions which have now come into existence. And the "two" being both better adapted than the parent form, means that they are better adapted each to a special environment in the same area--as one to damp, another to dry places; one to woods, another to open grounds, etc., etc., as Darwin had already explained. A.R.W. (1899).) better than the parent form, which they supplant.英文原著 · 《More Letters of Charles Darwin Volume I》
A change of conditions occurs which threatens the existence of the species; but the two varieties are adapted to the changing conditions, and if accumulated will form two new species adapted to the new conditions.英文原著 · 《More Letters of Charles Darwin Volume I》
But conditions in the total number of unselected cases show something, and, for whatever it is worth, we offer the following enumeration of environment in our 19 normal cases, who with much more reason might be expected to be largely influenced by surroundings than our group of border-line cases. Reasonably good home from birth . .5 Defective home conditions through poverty . .2 Very ignorant parents . .2 Immoralities in home life . .6 Marked defect in parental control . .6 Very erratic home conditions-parent abnormal. .1

In one sense, all conditions are subsequent; in another, all are precedent. All are subsequent to the first stage of the obligation. /4/ Take, for instance, the case of a promise to pay for work if done to the satisfaction of an architect. The condition is a clear case of what is called a condition precedent. There can be no duty to pay until the architect is satisfied. But there can be a [317] contract before that moment, because the determination whether the promisor shall pay or not is no longer within his control. Hence the condition is subsequent to the existence of the obligation.英文原著 · 《The Common Law》
