Antiquity of Man, The

Another classic converted by eBooksLib.com.

«The «Antiquity of Man» was published in 1863, and ran into a third edition in the course of that year. The cause of this is not far to seek. Darwin's «Origin of Species» appeared in 1859, only four years earlier, and rapidly had its effect in drawing attention to the great problem of the origin of living beings. The theories of Darwin and Wallace brought to a head and presented in a concrete shape the somewhat vague speculations as to development and evolution which had long been floating in the minds of naturalists.»
