Science Quotes by Richard Cumberland (1)
All other men, being born of woman, have a navel, by reason of the umbilical vessels inserted into it, which from the placenta carry nourishment to children in the womb of their mothers; but it could not be so with our first parents. It cannot be believed that God gave them navels which would have been altogether useless.
— Richard Cumberland
A Treatise of Laws of Nature (1727).
