A Century of Science, and Other Essays

This collection gathers a lively series of essays that explore the currents of scientific thought at the turn of the twentieth century. The author’s conversational style invites listeners into evenings of informal debate, where topics ranging from the evolution of humanity to the social impact of new discoveries are examined with both rigor and wit. Interwoven personal reflections serve as a bridge between scholarly analysis and the everyday wonder of a world newly illuminated by progress.

In the opening pieces, the writer presents his influential “infancy theory,” a bold attempt to explain why human development lingers longer than that of our ancestors and how this shapes culture, family, and society. The essays move beyond mere exposition, prompting listeners to consider the interplay of biology, psychology, and sociology in shaping our modern age. Engaging and thought‑provoking, the volume offers a snapshot of a vibrant intellectual era while encouraging fresh contemplation of timeless questions.
