The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man Summary
| One seldom-raised yet not merely curious question of Evolution is, why the process should be an evolution at all? If Evolution is simply a method of Creation, why was this very extraordinary method chosen? Creation tout d'un coup might have produced the same result; an instantaneous act or an age-long process would both have given us the world as it is? The answer of modern natural theology has been that the evolutionary method is the infinitely nobler scheme. A spectacular act, it is said, savours of the magician. As a mere exhibition of power it appeals to the lower nature; but a process of growth suggests to the reason the work of an intelligent Mind. No doubt this intellectual gain is real. |

| Provocative book with the perspective of evolution of man and his relations with the lowest animals. Drummond has cohesively described gradient of man and how the nature is misconceived and its greatest factor is overlooked by scientific thinking. The book bequeaths modern thought to the evolution and nature of man. Thought-provoking! |
