Abstract
THIS volume consists of a reprint of two volumes of elementary lectures, “The Evolution of the Earth and its Inhabitants” (1918), and “The Evolution of Man” (1922), delivered at Yale University, with the addition of a chapter entitled “Cultural Evolution”, by Prof. G. G. MacCurdy, and another on The Mechanism of Evolution by Prof. W. R. Coe. Most of the chapters are reprinted without any (or with only slight) alteration. Hence the review that appeared in NATURE (June 2, 1923, p. 735) still gives an accurate idea of the new impression, and the criticism of the titles of the individual lectures and of the whole volume is still relevant.
The Evolution of Earth and Man.
