Fifth of six lectures by Julian Huxley, F.R.S.
In this lecture Dr. Huxley asks how evolutionary progress can be defined. What have been the main steps in its advance, and how have they been brought about? What are the main novelties to which it has given rise? Dr. Huxley concludes that purely biological progress has come to an end: the physiological properties of living substance have been fully realised. One way of advance remained open - the improvement of mental properties, which led to the development of man and the beginning of a new phase of evolution.
