Description
""Evidence As To Mans Place In Nature"" is a book written by Thomas Henry Huxley and published in 1863. The book is a scientific inquiry into the relationship between humans and other animals, and it seeks to provide evidence for the theory of evolution. Huxley argues that humans are not a separate creation, but rather a product of natural selection, just like all other animals. He examines the anatomical and physiological similarities between humans and other primates, and argues that these similarities provide strong evidence for the evolution of humans from a common ancestor with other primates. Huxley also explores the social and intellectual differences between humans and other animals, and argues that these differences are not evidence of a divine or supernatural origin, but rather the result of natural selection and adaptation. The book was groundbreaking in its time, and helped to establish the theory of evolution as a scientific fact. Today, it remains an important work in the history of science and a key text in the study of human evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
