| Summary | "Mental Evolution in Man: Origin of Human Faculty" by George John Romanes is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work explores the principles and causes of mental evolution in humans, addressing the origin of human faculties and their progression from non-conceptual forms of thought. Romanes aims to analyze human psychology through the lens of evolutionary theory, contending that understanding our mental processes requires a comparative approach to animal psychology. The opening of the treatise introduces Romanes' objective to delineate the vast subject of human mental evolution, emphasizing that he will focus on the general principles rather than delve into minute details. He plans to examine the relationship between human and animal psychology, arguing for similarities and observable connections in emotional and cognitive faculties. The first chapter proposes that the essence of human thought is continuous with the mental functions of lower animals and sets the stage for a rigorous analysis of the mental constitution of humankind as shaped by evolutionary processes.
