Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Essays on the Antiquity and Races of Man The popular but inaccurate expression of this scientific conviction is that man is descended from the monkeys, but that a link has been lost in the chain of descent: the famous missing link. In a loose way this statement re ects modern scientific Opinion; but it certainly is partly erroneous. Probably not a, single living authority maintains today that man is descended from any species of monkey now living. What students during the past sixty years have more and more come to be convinced of, was already foreshadowed by Darwina namely that man and the apes are both descended from a common ancestor. This common ancestor may be described as a primitive Primate. Who differed in a good many details both from the monkeys and from man. And who has long since become extinct. The Situation may be clarified by two diagrams. The first diagram represents the inaccurate popular View which puts the monkey at the bottom of the line of descent, man at the top, and the missing link in the middle of the straight line. The illogicality ef believing that our origin occurred in this manner is apparent as soon as one re ects that according to this scheme the monkey at the beginning and man at the end of the line still survive, whereas the missing link, which is supposed to have connected them, has become extinct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and Antiquity of Man There are two classes of writers who produce two very distinct classes of books. The first are trained to write, as the gladiators were trained to fight, and are the present champions of the prize-ring. Libraries and encyclopaedias are their weapons. The skilful use of these is their strength. They learn to polish periods, and write over other men's ideas, and by burnishing and varnishing, and a slight veneer of wording, present them so different that their authors do not recognize their own children. They do not write because they have any thing to say, but because there is honor and profit in the pen. The second class write because they have something to say. Libraries are of little benefit to them, and because of their originality, they are not encouraged by profit. I claim no skill in modelling sentences, or in the desirable art of presenting my subjects in their most pleasing forms; nor can I claim to belong to that class who have something worthy of record to say when they write.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a religion cannot attract and instruct young people, it will struggle to survive, which is why recreational programs were second only to theological questions in the development of twentieth-century Mormonism. In this book, Richard Ian Kimball explores how Mormon leaders used recreational programs to ameliorate the problems of urbanization and industrialization and to inculcate morals and values in LDS youth. As well as promoting sports as a means of physical and spiritual excellence, Progressive Era Mormons established a variety of institutions such as the Deseret Gymnasium and camps for girls and boys, all designed to compete with more "worldly" attractions and to socialize adolescents into the faith. Kimball employs a wealth of source material including periodicals, diaries, journals, personal papers, and institutional records to illuminate this hitherto underexplored aspect of the LDS church. In addition to uncovering the historical roots of many Mormon institutions still visible today, Sports in Zion is a detailed look at the broader functions of recreation in society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the World's People, Vol. 3: An Account of the Ethnic Origin, Primitive Estate, Early Migrations, Social Evolution, and Present Conditions and Promise of the Principal Families of Men After the discussion of the Latin races I next consider the celts. The history of the race so called occupies the second book of the current volume. The Celtic races were before the Romans in the possession and partial civilization of the greater part of Western Europe. But the preeminence and long continuity of the Romans have suggested their con sideration first after the history of the Greeks, and that of the descendent Latin races next, on the lines of immediate derivation. The Celts, in the Aryan family of mankind, were cognate with the Romans and the Greeks. Their evolution, how ever, was less striking and less enduring than that of the Roman race, and much less brilliant than that of the Greeks. The difference in favor of the Celts is that they still survive in several existing forms, while the great classical peoples of antiquity have become extinct. The Gael, the Irish, and the Welsh are the living representatives of a stock of man kind formerly diffused throughout the West. The Greeks and the Romans have survived only in ethnic forms greatly deflected and modified from their respective originals. If it be urged that greencastle, I894.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Races of Man: Differentiation and Dispersal of Man We see that this is quite a wide range of subjects, yet it does not include all that come into relation with man. History is the written word or symbol, but archeology or paleontology may afford a more nearly correct account of the past life and certainly of the past types Of man. A study of man's literature is but a study of his psychic life. Indeed, every sphere of human knowl edge touches upon anthropology. This book deals with the physical side Of man only, but it will be written in vain if it fails to make clear that the study of the differentiation of man and of his evolution in the formation of with their distribution over the world, is a subject of ever broadening human interest. NO matter what branch of learning we may select we will soon find that it has, directly or indirectly, some relation to man.
