 man's evolutionary origin cannot be
said to have been yet dealt with for itself alone. Darwin's work,
moreover, is now nearly thirty years old, and to this extent antiquated,
while at best it cannot be considered as well suited for general
reading.

These considerations have given rise to the present work, in which an
effort has been made to present the subject of man's origin in a popular
manner, to dwell on the various significant facts that have been
discovered since Darwin's time, and to offer certain lines of evidence
never before presented in this connection, and which seem to add much
strength to the general argument.

The subject is one of such widespread interest as to make it probable
that a plain and brief presentation of it will be acceptable, both to
enable those who are evolutionists in principle to learn on what grounds
their acceptance of this phase of evolution stands, and to aid those who
are at sea on the whole subject of man's origin to reach some fixed
conclusion. For these purposes this little book has been set afloat,
with the hope that it may carry some doubters to solid land and teach
some believers the fundamental elements of their faith.

EVOLUTION VERSUS CREATION


In any consideration of the origin of man we are necessarily restricted
to two views: one, that
man's evolutionary origin cannot be 
 said to have been yet deal with for itself entirely. Darwin's work, 
 moreover, is nowadays closely thirty years old, and to this extent antique, 
 while at dependable it cannot be considered equally well suitable for general 
 reading. 

 These consideration have given rise to the present work, in which an 
 campaign has been made to present the subject of man's origin in a democratic 
 manner, to dwell on the various significant fact that have been 
 discovered since Darwin's time, and to volunteer certain lineage of evidence 
 never before presented in this connection, and which seem to add much 
 strength to the cosmopolitan argument. 

 The subject is one of such widespread interest as to make it probable 
 that a plain and abbreviated display of it will be satisfactory, both to 
 enable those who are evolutionists in principle to learn on what grounds 
 their acceptance of this phase of evolution stands, and to help those who 
 are at ocean on the unharmed subject of world's beginning to reach some fixed 
 conclusion. For these determination this little book has been set afloat, 
 with the hope that it may dribble some doubters to solid land and teach 
 some believers the fundamental elements of their religion.
