Publisher's Synopsis
Contributions to the Study of the Behavior of Lower Organisms is a scientific book written by Herbert Spencer Jennings and published in 1904. The book focuses on the behavior of lower organisms, such as protozoa and cnidarians, and explores their various responses to different stimuli. Jennings' research is based on his observations of these organisms in their natural habitats, as well as in laboratory settings. He discusses the importance of studying these organisms in order to gain a better understanding of the evolution of behavior in higher organisms, including humans. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of lower organism behavior, such as orientation, locomotion, and response to light and gravity. Jennings' writing is clear and concise, making this book accessible to both scientists and non-scientists alike. Overall, Contributions to the Study of the Behavior of Lower Organisms is a valuable contribution to the field of biology and a fascinating read for anyone interested in the behavior of living organisms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
