This article presents information on the book "Human History," by G. Elliot Smith. The author tells that this book has been written in a scientific laboratory where the principal device for the study of mankind is the process of dissection. The vantage-ground is significant not because Smith is a distinguished anatomist, but because of his belief that the only true history of mankind is that which combines biology with humanities, the physical development of the race with its intellectual and social activities. His book, accordingly, is a study, popular in style but learned in substance, of physical beginnings of the race and of early civilizations which were attained in Egypt and Greece.
