The Testimony of the Teeth Man's Place in Nature: With Other Essays on the Doctrine of Evolution (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Testimony of the Teeth Man's Place in Nature: With Other Essays on the Doctrine of Evolution Some apology may be due to the public by the author for presenting them with what may seem an inconsequential series of essays. He hopes, how ever, that he may have some readers to whom they will not appear so disjointed as their titles suggest. Being much interested in Natural History, Meta physics, and Theology, he has from time to time worked up questions which presented themselves, and delivered most of these essays as lectures or papers at the Plymouth Literary and Scientific Institution, or the Odontological Society of Great Britain, by whose kind permission they are now reprinted. Some have appeared in the Zoologis't and other periodicals. The first chapter, the ninth, the eleventh, and the twelfth, have never been previously published, and all the chapters have been rewritten and corrected up to date.
