Summary:

The following book has resulted from a series of public discourses by the author upon the great scientific discoveries of recent times with regard to the Antiquity and Origin of the Human race, and the Position of Man in Nature. The great and almost unexampled interest in the subject, and its importance in the development and further evolution of our general conception of the Universe and of life, from the point of view of philosophical realism, (an importance which is still far from being sufficiently acknowledged), will justify the author in abstaining from any prefatory explanation of his motives in deciding to communicate in the present compilation, the essential parts of these discourses to a more distant or larger public, in a form suited for general comprehension.
