Evolution and Man's Place in Nature

Abstract

THIS work appears to have been written for the purpose of setting forth the author's views as to the twofold nature and origin of man. He admits, fully and unreservedly, that both the bodily organism and the lower mental nature of man have alike been developed by a process of evolution from a lower animal form; but he urges with much force, and often with both eloquence and dialectic skill, that the rational and moral nature of man has not been thus developed.
