THE EVOLUTION OF MAN. 



TABLE I. 



LIST of the principal branches of BIOOENY, or the HISTORY OF ORGAN i. 

 EVOLUTION, with reference to the four chief stages of Organic In 

 dividuality Cell, Organ, Person, and Race. 14 



First branch of Biogeny, 

 or of the history of the 

 evolution of organisms: 

 GERM-HISTORY, or On- 

 togeny (history of the 

 development of the 

 embryo of the in- 

 dividual organism). 



. Germ-history of 



Forms. 

 (Morphogeny.) 



'1. Germ-history of the cells (and cytods) 

 and of the tissues composed of the cells 

 llistogeny. 



2. Germ-history of the organs, and of the 

 systems and apparatus composed of the 

 organs. Organogeny. 



3. Germ-history of the persons (called 

 " the history of the evolution of bodily 

 form "). ISlastogeny. 



4. Genn-hisfory of races (or of social 

 aggregates composed of persons: fa- 

 milies, communities, states, etc. Cor- 

 viogeny. 



iThe germ-history of the functions or the 

 history of the development of vital 

 activities in the individual, has not yet 

 been accurately and scientifically in- 

 vestigated.

Second branch of Biogeny, 

 or of the history of the 

 evolution of organisms: 

 TRIBAL HISTORY, or 

 Phylogeny (history of 

 the palseontological evo- 

 lution of organic 



3. Tribal history 

 of Forms. 



1. Tribal history of the cells (hardly at- 

 tempted as yet). Histophyly. 



2. Tribal history of organs (an unrecog- 

 nized main object of comparative ana- 

 tomy). Organophyly. 



3. Tribal history of persons (an unrecog- 

 nized main object of the natural system 

 of classification). Blastophyly. 



4. Tribal history of races (or of social 

 aggregates composed of persons : fa- 

 milies, communities, states, etc. Cor- 



. mophyly. 



tribal history of the functions, or ttii 

 listory of the palaeontological develop, 

 nent of vital activities, has, in the case 

 f most organisms, not yet been ex- 

 mined. In the case of man, a large 

 art of the history of culture fcUls unrleJ 

 hi* head.
