The two-volume set follow-up to "Origin of Species," in which Darwin considered human evolution. "The sole object of this work is to consider, firstly, whether man, like every other species, is descended from some preexisting form; secondly, the manner of his development; and thirdly, the value of the differences between the so-called races of man." (intro) A nice set that hardly shows its age.
