Description: HUMAN ORIGINS by S. Laing.first edition, 3rd print run, from 1892. Laing meticulously goes over the creation stories of all major civilizations and religions, contemporary and ancient, throughout the world, breaks them apart, and analyzes what is demonstrably true and what is demonstrably false in each legend. also goes over scientific discoveries; the theory of evolution; the evolution and distribution of languages; ancient ruins, tools, and fossils of early man found; geology, and how they are all connected or play into local belief systems. a lot of research and thought went into this book. of course, this is still a 130+ year old book so the science and historical record within is not so complete as our current understanding. CONDITION: Wear to edges of cover. some underlining and notes in margins. book plate of former owner on end paper. SPECS: red cloth hardcover binding. about 9 x 6 x 1".422 pages plus a whopping 40 pages of advertisements by the publisher. check out my eBay store for more old and rare books from my personal collection. quite a few other science books from the era.
