CHARLES DARWIN AS AN ANTHROPOLOGIST
BY ERNST HAECKEL
_Professor of Zoology in the University of Jena_
The great advance that anthropology has made in the second half of the
nineteenth century is due, in the first place, to Darwin's discovery
of the origin of man. No other problem in the whole field of research
is so momentous as that of "Man's place in nature," which was justly
described by Huxley (1863) as the most fundamental of all questions.
Yet the scientific solution of this problem was impossible until the
theory of descent had been established.
