Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Physical Basis of Life The following remarkable discourse was originally delivered in Edinburgh, Nov. 18th, 1868, as the first of a series of Sunday evening addresses, upon non-religious topics, instituted by the Rev. J. Cranbrook. It was subsequently published in London as the leading article in the Fortnightly Review, for February, 1869, and attracted so much attention that five editions of that number of the magazine have already been issued. It is now re-printed in this country, in permanent form, for the first time, and will doubtless prove of great interest to American readers. The author is Thomas Henry Huxley, of London, Prof. of Natural History in the Royal School of Mines, and of Comparative Anatomy and Physiology in the Royal College of Surgeons. He is also President of the Geological Society of London. Although comparatively a young man, his numerous and valuable contributions to Natural Science entitle him to be considered one of the first of living Naturalists, especially in the departments of Zoology and Paleontology, to which he has mainly devoted himself. He is undoubtedly the ablest English advocate of Darwin´s theory of the Origin of Species, particularly with reference to its application to the human race, which he believes to be nearly related to the higher apes.
