By: Mayr, Ernst.
Material type:
BookPublisher: Cambridge Harvard University Press 1974Description: xv; 453p. 6x9 pb.ISBN: 9780674690134.DDC classification: 591.38 Summary: Because of the impossibility of experimenting with man and because an understanding of man's biology is indispensable for safeguarding his future, emphasis throughout the book is placed on those findings from higher animals which are directly applicable to man. The last chapter, "Man as a Biological Species," is of particular interest to the general reader. Mr. Mayr concludes that while modern man appears to be as well adapted for survival purposes as were his ancestors, there is much evidence to suggest that he is threatened by the loss of his most typically human characteristics.
