| Summary | "Human Origins" by S. Laing is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the origins and evolution of the human race, examining insights derived from history, archaeology, geology, and ancient civilizations, particularly focusing on Egypt and Chaldæa. Through the examination of historical records and scientific evidence, Laing challenges traditional biblical chronologies and seeks to provide a broader understanding of humanity's ancient past. The opening of "Human Origins" sets the stage by reflecting on the importance of understanding human evolution within the context of both history and scientific inquiry. Laing discusses the previous reliance on biblical accounts for the origins of mankind, highlighting the tension between religious beliefs and emerging scientific perspectives. He points out that modern discoveries in archaeology and geology suggest a much older and more complex history of human civilization than previously thought, inviting readers to reconsider established narratives and encouraging further exploration into the depths of prehistoric time.
