07401. LOREN EISELEY'S "THE IMMENSE JOURNEY". Answers two questions in personal perspective: what is valuable in the book to you, and how does evolution theory help you as a social scientist to understand human behavior? The major value of the book is in skillfully blending fact and philosophy, showing that science and human values flow together. By exploring some of the mysteries of human evolution, such as its relative swift speed and the appearance and extinction of highly-developed forms of man, Eiseley accentuates man's dependence on his fellow man and forces us to admit that we don't yet have all the answers as to why man is the way he is. 5 pages, 2 footnotes, 1 bibliographic source.
