Man And His Ancestor: A Study In Evolution

"Man And His Ancestor: A Study In Evolution" by Charles Morris is a late 19th-century scientific exploration focused on humanity's evolutionary roots. It examines the shift from basic life forms to modern humans, using evidence from anatomy, fossils, and development. The book starts by distinguishing between creationism, based on religious belief, and evolution, based on science, intending to guide readers toward the facts supporting evolution and away from unsupported religious ideas. Morris mentions advancements in understanding human ancestry and fossil finds, pointing to vestigial structures and developmental biology as key proof of our evolutionary past, promising readers a thorough look into the processes of evolution and the data backing the idea that humans come from earlier animal forms.
