Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Evolution I assume that the principles which have brought about the evolution of plants and of animals other than man must account, no less, for human evolution. But no sooner is the human stage entered upon than morality, religion, and the accumulation of knowledge begin to play, each of them, an important part, which becomes more impor tant as evolution proceeds.

Anyone who is interested in it will undoubtedly be thoroughly acquainted with that history so that a general survey may be dispensed with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Genetics This book gives the substance of a series of lectures delivered in Yale University, where I had the privilege of holding the office of Silliman Lecturer in 1907. The delay in publication was brought about by a variety of causes. Inasmuch as the purpose of the lectures is to discuss some of the wider problems of biology in the light of knowledge acquired by Mendelian methods of analysis, it was essential that a fairly full account of the conclusions established by them should first be undertaken and I therefore postponed the present work till a book on Mendel's Principles had been completed. On attempting a more general discussion Of the bearing Of the phenomena on the theory of Evolution, I found myself continually hindered by the consciousness that such treatment is premature, and by doubt whether it were not better that the debate should for the present stand indefinitely adjourned. That species have come into existence by an evolutionary process no one seriously doubts; but few who are familiar with the facts that genetic research has revealed are now inclined to speculate as to the manner by which the process has been ac complished. Our knowledge of the nature and properties Of living things is far too meagre to justify any such attempts. Suggestions of course can be made: though, however, these ideas may have a stimulating value in the lecture room, they look weak and thin when set out in print. The work which may one day give them a body has yet to be done. The development of negations is always an ungrateful task apt to be postponed for the positive business of experiment. Such work is happily now going forward in most of the centers of scientific life. Of many of the subjects here treated we already know more than we did in 1907. The delay in production has made it possible to incorporate these new contributions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The world had been waiting, and in a Single day the first edition Of was sold out. One hundred years later, the day was celebrated as marking one of those events that inﬂuence the career of man by changing his perspective of himself and his place in the universe. In December Of 1955 the University Of Chicago began planning its celebration Of the centenary in the most appropriate manner - bringing to bear, on the subject Of evolution, current knowledge from a variety of relevant fields, thus advancing once more our understanding of the world and man.

This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present Problems in Evolution and Heredity The reversional tendency is hereditary. There are many cases, both of reversions (as in the teeth) and indefinite variations being hereditary, that is, reappearing in several generations, or skipping a generation and recurring in the second. Summary - 13mm are clearly marked out several regions in the human body in which evolution is relatively most rapid, such as the lower portion of the chest, the upper cervicals, the shoulder girdle in its rela tion to the trunk, the lower portion of the arm and hand, the outer portion of the foot. We notice that these regions especially are centers of adaptation to new habits of life in which new organs and new rela tions of parts are being acquired and old organs abandoned. We observe also that all parts of the body are not equally variable, but these centers of evolution are also the chief centers of variability. The variations here are not exclusively, but mainly, of one kind; they rise from the constant struggle between adaptation and the force of heredity. Here is a muscle like the extensor indicis attempting to give up an old function and establish a new one; it maintains its new func tion for several generations, and then goes back without any warning to a function which it had thousands of years ago. Thus the force of reversion strikes us as a universal factor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The arrange ment in the case of Father Wasmann's lectures made the whole affair a quite unique proceed ing. Indeed, its singularity makes it quite a remarkable episode in these latter days of the history of evolution. Three different nights were assigned to Father Wasmann for the de livery of his three lectures. A night was then set apart for the discussion of the problems in evolution raised by these lectures. At this discussion eleven savants in all spoke, ten of whom were Opposed to Father Wasmann's views, the eleventh being non-committal. Final ly, Father Wasmann closed the discussion, speaking by way of rejoinder to the replies of his opponents and his remarks - which lasted half an hour - closed the debate, the learned and distinguished assemblage breaking up a little after midnight. Surely Berlin has taken the problem of evolution seriously. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

If it is more than a sweet, ﬂattering dream, how can it be realised? Will the man in power, duly expropriated for the common good, resign himself to mediocrity? Will not the deeply rooted prejudices of a dethroned aristocracy and the utilitarian instinct of the slave-driver arm his enraged hand? And if these dangerous longings for ill-regulated ease have to be forcibly repressed, will not the society of the future be threatened with new wars of class with class, with the consequent ruinous waste of men and weapons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution, Vol. 1 Evolution The word is in every mouth. A vague, Often an incorrect conception Of its meaning in the field of biology and with reference to the origin of Man, has reached the popular mind, and stirred it to further investigation and inquiry. Even in its biological aspects, the doctrine of Evolution is seen to touch the great problems of religion and philosophy of origin and destiny. But it is beginning to be understood that not alone as an explana tion of the method whereby living forms have been produced and developed is this doctrine alive with human interest and pregnant with important inﬂuences upon human thought and human wel fare. Evolution, reaching backward, takes hold upon the great cosmic problems of the birth and growth of worlds, the nature of Matter and Spirit, the relation Of the phenomenal Universe to its efficient Cause. Reaching forward, it touches and illuminates the pressing problems of ethics and sociology, Offering to the careful student wise instruction for his guidance in all the practical affairs Of life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Life: Its Origin, History and Future The University of Chicago in December, 1955, began planning its celebration of the centenary in the most appropriate manner - bringing to bear on the subject of evolution current knowledge from a variety of relevant fields, thus advancing once more our understanding of the world and man. About fifty scientists were selected during 1956, and their themes were agreed upon; during 1957 and 1958 they developed the papers that are published here. As these were completed, they were exchanged among the authors. Armed with new information and insights, all but five of the authors met at the University on November 22, 1959, to prepare for panel discussions of the issues in evolution; these were held for the public during a five-day Celebration, beginning on the Centennial of the publication date of Origin of Species. The discus sions were based on the papers that had been prepared and distributed in advance, but were not delivered at the Celebration. The present volume, The Evolution of Life, and its companion volume, The Evolution of Man, represent most of the collected Uni versity of Chicago Centennial papers. A small group on the relation ship between science and spiritual values appears in a third volume, Issues in Evolution, which also contains the panel discussions and an index to all three volumes. Collectively, this work 15 called Evolution after Darwin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
