THE ANruRopoLoe1cAL SOCIETY.
Interesting Address by Moi. Powell on
Human Evolution.

The society reassembled in the army medi-
cal museum last evening, Col. Garrick NAL
lery, U. S. A., in the chair. A large and in
tolligent audience gathered to hear the an
nual address of Mai. j. w. Powell, the retiring
president, on human evolution. Briefly
stating his views respecting the origin and
antiquity Of man, the speaker assumed that
man was widely distributed over the earth
in early quaternary times. Now, everywhere
! over the earth we find low down in tho geo.
! logical strata the rudest implements to
be the Oldest, similarly, in society and Ian
! Euage the least complex are the oldest The
| purpose of the address was TO trace the evolu.
! tion of human art and society from its earliest
| forms to its highest perfection in our day
| From the five fields Of investigation soma.
! tology, technology, sociology, philoogy, and
philosophy, we gather the fact that in tho
earliest time there was the greatest diversity
of human activity, and that progress has
been to unity. Now, in human evolution
there is higher law than that
Of the survival of the fittest,
in obedience to which man is not
so much the sport of nature as its master.
Maj. Powell traced minutely the method Of
progression from tho one state to the other
in mans physiology, arts, sociology, language,
and philosophy, The evolution of man has
been subjective as to his mind, and objective
as to his arts, institutions, languages, and
biotic origin; and the two are interdo-
pendent, mutually helpful, and COM
| Elementary. As civilization advances the
undergraduates become more complex
and tend to unity. The survival of the
ttest is not of the artist. but of the art;
and man is no longer the sport of every wind,
bdt the master of his environment. The life
history of institutions, both regulative and
operative, was most lucidly sketched, since
Maj. Powell has devoted many years to this
particular subject. All regulative institutions
are to secure peace, either by terminating or
! by preventing controversy. This portion of
the address was an eloquent tribute to the
persistent struggle Of our race to
secure the practice of justice. Tho
revolution of philosophy has been, first,
mythologic; second metaphysical, and,
lastly, logical, or scientific. As regards the
evolution of mind the speaker limited him
self to the progress that has taken place in
the history ofman, by invention, byIaccultura-
| tion or learning from nature, and by instruc-
ton. Maj. Powell closed with an eloquent
defense of the doctrine of human evolution
against the brute philosophy which denies
the wisdom of charity, and the speaker de-
Tended most ably the universal harmony of
| the latest science.
