About This Book

A series of eight lectures outlines the principles and evidence for organic evolution, starting with definitions and characteristics of living organisms, examining anatomical development and embryology, fossil records, and mechanisms of evolutionary change. It then applies evolutionary analysis to human origins, mental capacities, and social institutions, and finally considers ethical and religious ideas as natural phenomena subject to classification. Emphasis is on concise, accessible presentation of well-established facts for a cultivated nontechnical audience.
