Excerpt from Mental Evolution in Man: Origin of Human Faculty
First, let us consider the question on purely a przorz grounds. In accordance with our original hypothesis - upon which all naturalists Of any standing are nowadays agreed the process Of organic and Of mental evolution has been continuous throughout the whole region Of life and Of mind, with the one exception Of the mind Of man. On grounds Of analogy, therefore, we should deem it antecedently improbable that the process Of evolution, elsewhere SO uniform and ubiquitous, should have been interrupted at its terminal phase. And looking to the very large extent Of this analogy, the antecedent presumption which it raises is so considerable, that in my Opinion it could only be counterbalanced by some very cogent and unmistakable facts, Showing a difference between animal and human psychology so distinctive as to render it in the nature Of the case Virtually impossible that the one could ever have graduated into the other. This I posit as the first consideration.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates how the human mind has evolved from its animal origins. It begins by establishing that there is a case for continuity between the minds of animals and the distinctive intelligence of humans. The author suggests that the key to this transition lies in the human capacity for forming abstract ideas, otherwise known as conceptual thought. From this starting point, the book outlines the evolutionary progression of intellect, emotions, and volition, as well as the development of distinctively human moral and religious sentiments. Given that the theory of evolution was still a relatively new idea when the author first published his findings, this book is notable for the clarity and precision with which it sets out the case for the continuity between human and animal minds. It remains a landmark work in the history of evolutionary psychology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
