Excerpt from Development and Evolution: Including Psychophysical Evolution, Evolution by Orthoplasy, and the Theory of Genetic Modes
The relation of this Volume to the two earlier ones is spoken of above. The close connection of the three volumes, all of which might have been made parts of a single larger work, renders necessary the repeated citation of each one of them in the others, in a way which may seem - and has seemed, to one critic - to be a case of a writer's liking 'to quote himself.' It is really, however, a matter of division of material - with separate publication of the parts - and the references are such as one usually finds from chapter to chapter in the course of one work. The interconnection of the topics it is, therefore, with the need of expounding them, for the sake of comprehensive ness, in this interconnection, that gives a somewhat per sonal look to these references.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the evolution of mind and body together, and the direction and results of the genetic factors involved. It is not enough to examine biological facts and principles. We must also recognize the principles and facts of the mental life. In this book, the author takes up problems drawn from mental and social evolution and interprets them to determine what sort of a theory of biological evolution is rendered the more probable when we recognize both biological and psychological facts. The author's main conclusion is that biological processes are tied to conscious ones, and that in order to completely understand an organism's biological makeup, one must exhaustively examine its corresponding conscious makeup, and vice versa.
