Descent of Man Revisted
       The discovery of the eonic effect as a non-random pattern in world history is explored and outlined, as the relationship of history and evolution is shown to hold the key to both the eonic effect, and the earlier stages of the descent of man. The chapter concludes with a outline of history, and a discussion of Kant's framework for the philosophy of history.
