Produktbeschreibung
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.

Autorenporträt
George John Romanes FRS was a Canadian-Scottish evolutionary biologist and physiologist who pioneered comparative psychology by proposing that humans and other animals share cognitive processes and mechanisms. He was the youngest of Charles Darwin's academic friends, and his ideas about evolution are historically significant. He is regarded to originate the phrase neo-Darwinism, which in the late 19th century was seen as a theory of evolution that concentrates on natural selection as the main evolutionary force. However, Samuel Butler used this term with a similar meaning in 1880. George Romanes was born in Kingston, Canada West, in 1848, as the youngest of three boys from a wealthy and highly developed family. His father, Rev. George Romanes (1805-1871), was a Scottish Presbyterian pastor. Two years after his birth, his parents relocated to Cornwall Terrace in London, United Kingdom, paving the way for Romanes' fruitful and long-lasting association with Charles Darwin. Romanes spent time growing up in Germany and Italy, where he became fluent in both languages. His early education was erratic, taking both in public schools and at home. He developed an early interest in poetry and music, at which he excelled.
