Synopsis

Contemporary Evolution: An Essay On Some Recent Social Changes is a book written by St. George Mivart in 1876. The book explores the concept of evolution in the context of contemporary society, analyzing the social changes that have occurred in recent times. Mivart examines the impact of industrialization, urbanization, and technological advancements on human society, and argues that these changes have led to a new era of evolution. He also discusses the role of education, religion, and politics in shaping social evolution, and offers insights into the future of human society. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of the complex interplay between biology and society, and remains relevant to contemporary debates on evolution and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Contemporary Evolution. CHAPTER I. INTR on UCTO.R Y. I HE inexperienced traveller who, having been wearied by the repeated slow ascents and drag-wheeled descents of a tedious coach road, afterwards surveys from a neighbouring mountain the route he has pursued, may not improbably feel surprise at the inconspieuousness of undulations which, while being traversed, seemed so considerable. The survey of the path of human social evolution from a stand-point as yet inaccessible to us, would no doubt in most cases similarly affect that estimate of the importance of his own epoch which each observer, reflecting on contemporary social phenomena, is apt to form. Nevertheless, as in spite of the relative evenness of the worlds surface as a whole, there are here and there exceptional conditions sheer precipices of both ascent and descent; so history exhibits parallel phenomena which exceptionally demarcate comparatively uneventful areas.
