The Whence and the Whither of Man A Brief History of His Origin and Development through Conformity to Environment; Being the Morse Lectures of 1895

"The Whence and the Whither of Man" by John M. Tyler is a scientific exploration that charts the journey of humans from the earliest forms of life to the complexities of modern existence. Through the lens of evolutionary theory, Tyler maps how humans adapted and changed in response to their surroundings, suggesting we can trace our roots back to simpler organisms and that the story of life reveals the path of human development and connects science and spirituality by pondering humanity's genesis and fate. The central question poses humanity's place in relation to immediate creation versus the gradual process of natural selection and Tyler invites readers to find the relationships of this view.
