Excerpt from History of the Human Body Regarding the first of these purposes, it may be said that, while many of the phases of the doctrine of evolution have been thoroughly exploited, and their general teaching has be come the property of the general scholar, the contribution to thought furnished by anatomy has been considered of too technical a character for popular presentation. It is true that this science necessarily rests upon a material basis, and in volves a mass of extremely intricate details, and it is also true that a more or less complete knowledge of these is absolutely necessary before the contribution of this science to evolution ary thought can be appreciated; but in these respects anatomy does not differ from other branches of natural science, the essential teachings of which are already a matter of general knowledge. If, then, the technical difficulties have been sur mounted in the case of Geology, Astronomy and general Zoology, it is not too much to hope that in the course of the next few years the mission of Anatomy may also become gen erally known, especially since its results touch human interests more closely than do those of any of the kindred sciences.
