Cloth, 8vo, $2.00 net; postpaid, $2^4 



Professor Parmelee has brought together the results of 

 recent work in biology in general and in zoology and 

 neurology in particular, in genetic and comparative psy- 

 chology, and in anthropology, and he has used them in 

 making an analysis of human behavior. The study is 

 developed from the physico-chemical and the anatomical 

 and physiological bases of behavior, through the behavior 

 of the lower animals to the behavior of man, the final 

 chapters describing the factors of social evolution. 



The book contains much that is vital to psychologists, 

 anthropologists, and social scientists, and will be of great 

 value to the general reader, bringing together in convenient 

 form the results of work which is of so much significance 

 for the study of human behavior and human nature. To 

 those engaged in educational work it will be of great use, 

 and will be found valuable as a college and university text- 

 book in certain courses in psychology and sociology. 



" It is an important, scholarly book which promises to be of great 

 interest and aid to students of psychology, ethics, anthropology, and 

 some departments of sociology." PROFESSOR Ross of the University 

 of Wisconsin. 



" The materials upon which it is based have been accumulating for 

 some time, and in Professor Parmelee we seem to have found the master 

 hand to shape them. His purpose of carrying the evolution of human 

 nature and culture into wider fields, using this book as a basis, is com- 

 mendable." PROFESSOR GOWIN of Wesleyan University.
