Man in the Tertiaries


Book Description




From Monkey to Man, or, Society in the Tertiary Age


Book Description

Humor is the main theme that colors the following chapters in this fictional novel inspired by the Tertiary Age when, according to the Darwinian Theory, men were emerging from the Ape, and they portray the supposed exploits of our ancestors at that stage of development. The author has aimed to exhibit the features of the time—climate, foliage, animals, etc.—as understood by Geologists and Biologists, and to be scientifically accurate, with no more variations in proportion than are usual in historic fiction.
