Animal Life and Intelligence
Conwy Lloyd Morgan
Life reproduces, varies, and is culled, and from that churn comes mind. Lloyd Morgan surveys the processes of living things: development, variation, natural selection, and heredity, then reaches toward the origins of intelligence itself. An ambitious Victorian synthesis of biology and psychology. Follow life's machinery all the way up to thought.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
