Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Antiquity of Man N 0 subject, of late years, has so much engrossed the atten tion of geologists as the antiquity of the human race. The interest was greatly increased by the publication of Sir Charles Lyell's Antiquity of Man. This work called the attention of the public to the subject, and so great became the interest that many volumes and memoirs have been added to the list, discussing the question in various ways, and, for the most part, in, such a manner as to add fresh interest and throw more light on the subject. The scientific men were slow to take advantage of the discoveries continually being made of the bones and works of man found in caves and associated with the remains of extinct animals. It is probable, even at this late day, there would not have been so much discussion of this subject had not Sir Charles Lyell lent the weight of his great name to it. Educated men, everywhere, began to doubt the correctness of Archbishop Usher's chronology, and so complete has been the revolution of opinion that it is almost impossible to find an intelligent man who would limit the period of man's existence to years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In lecturing upon the Antiquity of Man I have found the minds of the people prepared to receive the evidences, and ready to believe the conclusions of the geologists. I have felt the need of a popular work to place in the hands of the public, that would be both instructive and welcome. The works of Lyell and Lubbock are too elaborate and too expensive to meet the popular need. My object has been to give an outline of the subject sufficient to afford a reasonable acquaintance with the facts connected with the new science, to such as desire the information but cannot pursue it further, and to serve as a manual for those who intend to become more proficient.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquity of Man In accumulating the material and facts on which this book is based the author has become deeply indebted to many men. The help of some he has acknowledged in the text, but there are many whose names do not appear there. The omission does not mean that he is not grateful to them for their help.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Antiquity and Nature of Man: In Reply to the Recent Work of Sir Charles Lyell AT the meeting Of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, lately held at Newcastle, the work of Sir Charles Lyell on the Antiquity of Man, received such unqualified commendation from those who hold the highest rank in the scientific world, that the words of the President, in his inaugural address, must be regarded as the decision Of our modern philosophers It seems no longer possible to doubt that the human race has existed on the earth, in a barbarian state, for a period far exceeding the limit of the historical record. On the other hand, theologians of every denomina tion, who hold the Mosaic narrative to be the record of inspiration, believe that God made man perfect in mental powers and in bodily organization, - that the human -race did not exist in a barbarian state for a period exceeding the limit of the historical record, and that it is not yet six thousand years since they first appeared upon this sublunary sphere.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquity of Man in Europe: Being the Munro Lectures, 1913 Since I last essayed to review the geological evidence of the antiquity of man, the literature of the subject has greatly increased, and the most ardent student must find it hard to keep account of the constantly widening circle of knowledge. The research of the past twenty years has certainly cleared up much that was doubtful and obscure, and brought to light many interesting details which enable us to form a more adequate conception of the early history of our race than was previously possible. These later investigations, however, have not in any respect shaken the general conclusions arrived at twenty years ago, but, on the contrary, have served only to strengthen and confirm them. As. the data multiply, it becomes more and more evident that the early history of our race is intimately connected with that of the Ice Age; and the conviction deepens that the period which witnessed the advent of man in Europe was distinguished by extraordinary climatic changes.

This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Anthropology: Or Science of Man "The savant," Emerson says, "is often an amateur. His performance is a memoir to the Academy on fish-worms, . tadpoles, or spiders' legs; he observes as other academicians observe; he is on stilts at a microscope, and - his memoir finished, and read, and printed - he retreats into his routinary existence, which is quite separate from his scientific." Cuvier and St. Hilaire disputed over some two hundred pages upon the identity of organs: for instance, whether the forehoof of an ox is exactly the "same organ" with the wing of a bat. Now we must not for a moment suppose that we have no interest in such memoirs to the Academy, or in such slight differences of opinion as appear to have existed between Cuvier and St. Hilaire; as Mr. Lecky observes, in his "History of European Morals," "in the eyes of both the philanthropist and the philosopher, the greatest of all results to be expected in this, or perhaps any other field, are to be looked for in the study of the relations between our physical and moral natures."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Types of Man Age the length of this period is estimated provisionally at about years. On entering the Late Paleolithic Period the stone implements used by Europeans are seen to be of a more massive and rather rougher type of workmanship. Animals were then living in Central and South Europe which have disappeared - the reindeer and the mammoth. The period just named falls within the latter part of the geologists' Pleistocene Period. The Late Paleolithic Period was preceded by the early paleolithic period, one of very great but uncertain length. It lies within the glacial period, which was broken by at least three temperate intervals. The Early Paleolithic Period probably covers the last two of these intervals. Its duration is variously estimated from to years. At the beginning of this period the dominant race of Europe was the Neanderthal type of man at its close Europeans were of the modern type.
