The discussion proceeds from the standpoint of Evolution of Organic Life, as maintained by Mr. Darwin and by Mr. Alfred Russel Wallace. The main objects are to trace the evidence of man's relation to the continuity of life on the earth, and to describe the distinctive characteristics of human life itself.
