4.9/5 (18388 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Arboreal Man The subject, with which the following pages deal, formed the material for certain Arris and Gale Lectures, delivered in the Theatre of the Royal College of Surgeons of England during the years 1915 and 1916. Chapter XXI. consists of a condensed, and only partial, account of the subject treated in one such Lecture on "The Influence of the Arboreal Habit in the Evolution of the Reproductive System," delivered on March 22 nd, 1915;and the remaining chapters formed the basis of three Lectures on "The Influence of the Arboreal Habit in the Evolution of Man," delivered on February 28 th, March 1 st, and March 3 rd, 1916. Among their literary defects are those which are inseparable from their origin, since they are at best but elaborated notes of separated headings under which the Lectures were originally planned. The gift, which was so peculiarly conspicuous a possession of Huxley, of endowing the written page with the interest felt by the lecturer in the preparation of his subject, is a rare one. For the most part, the written notes of lectures are wont to present themselves as mere disconnected assertions, woven around a series of apparently disjointed central ideas. It is this inherent difficulty of reducing the underlying thought, and the spoken word to a consecutive written statement, that is appealed to as an excuse for the partially woven condition in which the material is presented to the reader.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
