Excerpt from The Processes of Ongoing Human Evolution
A hundred years ago Charles Darwin published his classic explana tion of evolution through natural selection. The work deals with the origin of species, as the title indicates; it is retrospective in outlook, explaining past events; and almost no mention is made of man, except a comment that in the distant 'future light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history.
