Excerpt from Evolution and the War
The way in which the distinction between men and animals is glossed over by the two fashionable schools of modern thought, and the misleading fashion in which observations on inheritance in plants and animals have been extended to human qualities, I have criticized in many occasional articles. The attempt towards a theory of consciousness which I sketch in this book is foreshadowed in my book on The Childhood of Animals, published in and in an address on Science and Life, published early in 1914.

Excerpt from Evolution and the War
This little book is based on three lectures on "Evolution and War," given at the Royal Institution in February, 1915. The lectures were delivered orally, with the assistance of notes, and as soon as possible afterwards I wrote out what I had said, rearranging the matter in a form more suitable for reading, and adding some details for which I had no time at the lectures. I have also made fuller reference to contemporary events than was permitted by the custom of the Institution.
Although the lectures would not have been given but for the war, the ideas that underlie them are not a by-product of current politics. The points of resemblance and difference between nations and species I discussed, on similar lines, in an article published in The North American Review in October, 1904. In the account of race and nationality, given in Chapter III, I have followed in broad outline the facts that Professor Ripley has presented so lucidly in The Races of Europe. In a strictly anthropological discussion, many minor considerations, some of them dealt with by Dr. Ripley himself, others raised by other anthropologists and ethnologists, would have to be reviewed.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the theory of war by drawing parallels between international relations and the evolution of animals through natural selection. The author traces the evolution of the theory of natural selection from pre-Darwinian ideas to the modern synthesis. They then discuss heated debates and subsequent evidence on the subject of variation, selection and species. In the end, they conclude that natural selection is a compelling theory but still ultimately unproven and subject to change. The author ultimately shares the belief that the insights gained from this theory will continue to shape our understanding of the natural world. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of science, biology, or the philosophy of science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
