ANTHROPOLOGY. 



MAN'S ZOOGENETIC LINEAGE. 



BY H. A. REID, SEC'Y ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, DE MOINES, IOWA. 



About twenty-five years ago appeared Nott and Gliddon's two great works, 

 "Types of Mankind," and "Indigenous Races of the Earth," to which Prof. 

 Agassiz was a contributor, and in which the doctrine that different types or races 

 of men originated at different periods of geologic time and in different parts of 

 the earth was ably and learnedly maintained. I once heard a bevy of clergymen 

 at a Harvard Alumni dinner joking the great professor about his having taken 

 their "father Adam" away from them. Next came Darwin's "Origin of Spe- 

 cies," and about the same time Ly ell's " Antiquity of Man." This was soon fol- 

 lowed by Darwin's " Descent of Man," and Huxley's " Man's Place in Nature." 

 And now within a few years Quatrefages' " Human Species" — Vol. XXVII Ap- 

 pleton's International Series) — Haeckel's " Evolution of Man," and Winchell's 

 " Preadamites " have appeared j besides Prof. Whitney's recently restated and 

 reinforced proofs that man existed in our Pacific Coast region as low down in 

 the geological scale as the Tertiary age. {See Geological Chart in the Review, 

 Vol. V, No. 3, July, 1 88 1.) 



Prof. Haeckel's work on "The Evolution of Man," strikes the deepest of 

 anything yet brought out on the subject, and bids fair in its essential principles
