Synopsis

Mental Evolution In Man: Origin Of Human Faculty is a book written by George John Romanes, first published in 1889. The book explores the evolution of the human mind and the development of human faculties, such as language, memory, and reasoning. Romanes draws upon the works of Charles Darwin and other prominent scientists to provide a comprehensive account of mental evolution in humans. The book is divided into four parts, each examining a different aspect of mental evolution, including the evolution of the brain, the development of language, the origins of morality, and the nature of consciousness. Romanes argues that mental evolution is a gradual process that has occurred over millions of years, and that the human mind has developed through a combination of natural selection and cultural influences. Mental Evolution In Man: Origin Of Human Faculty is a seminal work in the field of evolutionary psychology, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the origins and development of the human mind.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

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

George John Romanes (1848–94) was considered by The Times to be 'the biological investigator upon whom in England the mantle of Mr. Darwin has most conspicuously descended'. Incorporating some of Darwin's unpublished notes, this book explores the question of whether human intelligence evolved. In a stance still often considered controversial at the time of its first printing in 1888, the first half establishes a link between humans and animals, and introduces some of the most important issues of nineteenth-century evolutionary psychology: the impact of relative brain sizes of humans and primates, the origin of self-consciousness and the possible reasons behind the apparent mental stasis of what Romanes terms 'savage man'. Following the argument that one of the main factors to be considered is language, the second half focuses on philology. Romanes' earlier work, Mental Evolution in Animals (1883), is also reissued in this series.
