Man's Place in Nature

Thomas H. Huxley was one of the first supporters of Charles Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection and he did more than any other writer to advance its acceptance among scientists and nonscientists alike. His most famous book Mans Place in Nature published only five years after Darwins The Origin of Species offers a compelling review of primate and human paleontology and is the first attempt to apply Darwins theory to human beings. As compelling a piece of analysis now as it was 140 years ago Mans Place in Nature is a must for every science lovers library.
