Présentation de l'éditeur

Of the original papers which form the nucleus of thia volume, that On the Relation between theE rect Posture and the Physical and Intellectual Development of Man, which formed the Presidential Address at the Anthropological Section of theB ritish Association in 1893, alone remains unchanged. Previous to that time the erect posture had not, to my knowledge, been regarded as an important factor in the evolution of man, but more recently opinions tending in that direction have emanated from several quarters. I consider, therefore, that whatever value may be attached to the views then expressed, it is better now to leave them in the actual garb in which they originally appeared; more especially as I regard the fossil bones discovered by Dr Dubois, in Java, as a practical illustration of their truth.
