HUMAN LIFE 



is himself human and not made over 

 by too much association with Paramoe- 

 cium to be more like his Protozoan pet 

 than like the rest of his own species. 

 In our continuing consideration of 

 human life, therefore, as the biologist 

 sees it, we shall not hesitate to touch upon 

 any of the phenomena and problems 

 presented by this life whether they be 

 clearly within the province which the 

 biologist can pretty confidently claim 

 as his, or in that other province which less 

 clearly belongs to him but which he may 

 believe he has at least as much right as 

 anyone else to venture into. He can at 

 least peer about in this other province to 

 see if any stray sheep of his own are to be 

 found in it. Certainly in many of the broad 

 problems of human life arising in connec- 

 tion with such subjects as education, mili- 

 tarism, eugenics, delinquency, and others 

 usually regarded as chiefly belonging to 

 the province of humanistics, he can readily 

 perceive biological aspects. That may be 

 his excuse for approaching them.
