Excerpt from Man-an Adaptive Mechanism
For more than twenty years, the general theme treated in this volume has been under investigation in my laboratory and my clinic, and the volumes published during that time have recorded the steps by which I have approached the theories here presented.
The accumulated experimental and clinical data are so extensive that summaries only are given in the present volume, which is an argument for the main thesis, that man is essentially an energy-transforming mechanism, obeying the laws of physics, as do other mechanisms. In presenting this thesis, certain hypotheses have been freely employed where the data were insufficient that they may furnish a working basis upon which to accumulate additional data. An hypothesis - incomplete or even false - is so easily demolished that it can do little harm; while the presentation of a "false fact" may produce pernicious results.
To no one are the imperfections and shortcomings of this presentation more apparent than to the author, who lays no claim to expert knowledge in any one of the several sciences involved in attempting a synthesis of such wide scope.

Man-an Adaptive Mechanism (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theory that human biology, particularly the nervous system, evolved as an adaptive mechanism to environmental challenges. The author traces the ascent of man from ancestral origins through the lens of natural selection, highlighting the role of both physical and psychological adaptations in human survival. The book discusses concepts such as protective coloration, obliteration of form and color, and the development of the brain as a tool for overcoming environmental obstacles. The author argues that these adaptations were not consciously acquired but rather emerged as a result of the interaction between organisms and their environment over vast periods of time. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of these insights for understanding human health and disease, suggesting that many chronic diseases may stem from excessive activation of the kinetic system, which was originally evolved for survival in a challenging environment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331938798_0
