 OURSELVES 



By 



JAMES G. NEEDHAM 



Kmeritus Professor at Cornell University 



Illustrated by 

 WffllAM D. SARGENT 



It is a sane, timely, original and en- 

 tertaining account of the physical and 

 social science of life written so that all 

 may understand. The book is a study 

 of human nature from the zoological 

 viewpoint. Dr. Needham shows us the 

 real meaning of our zoological heritage 

 and offers a new and original classifica- 

 tion of the components of social be- 

 havior and of the instincts that serve 

 the needs of our mind. He gives us a 

 clear understanding of the ultimate 

 concern of biology that part of 

 human life wherein emotions mix with 

 rationality, contributing when the mix- 

 ture is good, to our welfare and happi- 

 ness; when bad, to our confusion and 

 disillusionment. The book presents 

 in untechnical language important 

 basic facts which must be taken into 

 account to really understand ourselves 

 individually and collectively.
