"In writing my husband's life I have tried, so far as it was possible, to let him, especially in matters scientific, speak for himself. The letters relating to his work will, I hope, interest any one who cares for biological science"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

The Life and Letters of George John Romanes is a biography about a Canadian-Scots evolutionary biologist and physiologist who laid the foundation of what he called comparative psychology, postulating a similarity of cognitive processes and mechanisms between humans and other animals. He was the youngest of Charles Darwin's academic friends, and his views on evolution are historically important. He is considered to invent the term neo-Darwinism, which in the late 19th century was considered a theory of evolution that focuses on natural selection as the main evolutionary force.
