Excerpt from The Evolution of Man, Vol. 1: A Popular Scientific Study; Human Embryology or Ontogeny The brilliant progress that comparative embryology has made during the last few decades is often attributed to extrinsic considerations - to the great number of fresh workers in this field of research, and to the improvement in the technical methods of investigation and the instruments used in the study. Certainly we must not fail to appreciate these advantages, especially the improvement of the micro scope and microtome; but the chief cause of progress has been the application of phylogenetic methods. It is to this we owe that immense enlargement of our intellectual horizon which enables us to regard the whole story of organic life, from the earliest beginning to the present day, as a vast mechanical process. It is reserved for phylogeny to reduce the constructive forces of the animal body to the general forces or life-tendencies of the universe. No sooner does the science of the evolution of species shed its light on the dark puzzles of embryology than the true laws of develop ment take definite shape.

This book is a lyrical journey through a pivotal part of my youth. It tells the story of my transformation from a product of my environment into the product of my own creation. It all starts with recognizing that my intense desire for love came from not receiving it at home from my parents and then trying to find that love from someone else in the world. Through T.V and media the narrative of finding someone to love overtook my life. But through many experiences I learned that loving myself was my job to do. Yes my environment raised me and instilled a lot into me both good and bad, but it is also my job as a responsible adult to address and change all the parts of me that no longer serve me. I tried on a lot of different hats and personalities to find the kind of person that I wanted to be. When it was all said and done, the product of my creation is a new man that I can be proud of.

"The following work is the substance of various speculations, that occasionally amused the author, and enlivened his leisure-hours. It is not intended for the learned; they are above it: nor for the vulgar; they are below it. It is intended for men, who, equally removed from the corruption of opulence, and from the depression of bodily labour, are bent on useful knowledge; who, even in the delirium of youth, feel the dawn of patriotism, and who in riper years enjoy its meridian warmth. To such men this work is dedicated; and that they may profit by it, is the author's ardent wish, and probably will be while any spirit remains in him to form a wish"--Preface.

The first volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's global phenomenon and smash SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER. Featuring 256 pages of gorgeous full-colour illustrations and wrapped in a beautiful package. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one-homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? In this first volume of the adaptation of his ground-breaking book, renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human". From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas. Featuring easy-to-understand text covering the first part of the original edition, this adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing conversation as it introduces Harari's ideas to a wider new readership.
