Mental Evolution In Man: Origin Of Human Faculty (1889)

By George John Romanes

Book Overview

Mental Evolution In Man: Origin Of Human Faculty is a book written by George John Romanes, first published in 1889. The book explores the evolution of the human mind and the development of human faculties, such as language, memory, and reasoning. Romanes draws upon the works of Charles Darwin and other prominent scientists to provide a comprehensive account of mental evolution in humans. The book is divided into four parts, each examining a different aspect of mental evolution, including the evolution of the brain, the development of language, the origins of morality, and the nature of consciousness. Romanes argues that mental evolution is a gradual process that has occurred over millions of years, and that the human mind has developed through a combination of natural selection and cultural influences. Mental Evolution In Man: Origin Of Human Faculty is a seminal work in the field of evolutionary psychology, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the origins and development of the human mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
