And even the author of Genesis asserts that the names Adam gave to the animals are the same names that were in use during his time, for I do not see that he could have meant anything else by these words: ''Omne quod vocavit Adam animae viventis, ipsum est nomen ejus Gen. I will grant that Adam gave names to the animals that are somehow related to their nature, and I will subscribe to the learned etymologies that an author of this century gives for them.
