Little Masterpieces of Science: Mind

By Good Press

Little Masterpieces of Science: Mind by various authors is a collection of 9 essays on the topics of psychology and the mind. Contents: "FISKE, JOHN The Part Played by Infancy in the Evolution of Man. Wallace pointed out that when once the intelligence of man became dominant, his body would change but little. Wallace brought up a baby orangutan which had a period of infantile helplessness much longer than that of a lamb or a calf. The still longer infancy of the human babe was most significant to John Fiske. It showed that the highest nervous development is the slowest. The prolongation of infancy lengthens the period of maternal affection, and tends to keep parents and children together, and thus the institution of the family is founded. Progress has been in the direction of bringing out the higher spiritual attributes of man: hence the elemental truth of religion. 3 SULLY, JAMES The New Study of Children. Man has the child always with him."
