The importance of the work of Charles Darwin for the development of anthropology is difficult to overestimate. They do not come down to the well-known formula: "Man descended from a monkey." The undoubted significance of Darwin's work is that he generalized the neontological evidence of animal origin of man. Darwin is the author of the simial concept of anthropogenesis, which provides numerous evidence of the biological and behavioral similarities of modern humans and other primates. The scientist has advanced far in the analysis of the mechanisms of anthropogenesis, rightly believing that...
Thomas Edison is one of those great minds who, appearing in known periods of time among mankind, mark a whole new era in the development of a particular branch of science and technology. It is impossible to apply to him the standard that is usually used in evaluating many outstanding personalities; in their special mental strength and almost superhuman talents, people like him stand apart, representing amazing phenomena that have not yet been sufficiently studied by science....
“The Analysis of Mind” is the best work of Lord Bertrand Arthur William Russell, who left a bright trace in English and world philosophy, logic, sociology, and political life. Following G.

The volume of the book is small, but, despite this, Russell was able to consider here the most basic issues of philosophy. `The Problems of Philosophy' can be used to teach philosophy at almost all levels of education - from secondary school to university and postgraduate study, as well as a textbook for special courses at philosophical faculties....
This is NOT a story about sinister aliens from outer space. This is simply the story of what happened to poor Junius when she found herself much too close to a Flying Saucer, long enough so she could be analyzed and long enough to cause some strange happenings on that farm....
