Produktbeschreibung

"Man's Place in the Universe" is a book written by Alfred Russel Wallace, a British naturalist, biologist, and co-discoverer of the theory of evolution by natural selection. The book, published in 1903, explores Wallace's thoughts on the significance of humanity in the context of the cosmos. In "Man's Place in the Universe," Wallace discusses topics related to the nature of the universe, evolution, and the unique attributes of human beings. He considers philosophical and scientific questions about the place of humans in the grand scheme of existence, addressing both the biological aspects of evolution and the broader implications for human consciousness and purpose. Alfred Russel Wallace's work contributed significantly to the development of evolutionary theory, and "Man's Place in the Universe" reflects his broader interests in natural philosophy. The book provides insights into the worldview of a prominent 19th-century naturalist and the intellectual climate of the time.
