THE EVOLUTION OF MAN. 



TABLE I. 



List of the principal branches of Biogeny, or the History op Organic 

 Evolution, with reference to the four chief stages of Organic In. 

 dividuality — Cell, Organ, Person, and Race. 1 * 



I. 



First branch of Biogeny, 

 or of the history of the 

 evolution of organisms: 

 Gekm-History, or On- 

 togeny (history of the 

 development of the 

 embryo of the in- 

 dividual organism). 



1. Germ-history of 



Forms. 



(Morphogeny.) 



2. Germ-history of 

 Functions. 

 (Physiogeny ) 



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

 and of the tissues composed of the cells. 

 Histogtny. 



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 "). Blastogeny. 



4. Germ-history of races (or of social 

 aggregates composed of persons: fa- 

 milies, communities, states, etc. Cor- 



^ mogeny. 



The 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. 



n. 



Second branch of Biogeny, 

 or of the history of the 

 evolution of organisms : 

 Tribal History, or 

 Phylogeny (history of 

 the palaeontological evo- 

 lution of organic 

 species). 



3. Tribal history 



of Forms. 



(Morphophyly.) 



4. Tribal history 



of Functions. 

 (Physiophyly.) 



(I. 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. 



(The tribal history of the functions, or the 

 history of the palaeontological develop- 

 ment of vital activities, has, in the case 

 of most organisms, not yet been ex- 

 amined. In the case of man, a large 

 part of the h ; story of culture falls 

 this head.
