In this paper Clarence Leuba has brought together some findings of scientific research helpful in answering the question "What is the essential nature of man?" by summarizing the findings of scientific research. Leuba not only offers a description of the "natural man," but he demonstrates the use by the modern psychologist of scientific researches which relate to his problems. Here the author has turned to the systematic observations of chimpanzees in the field and in controlled breeding and laboratory centers; he includes the reports on children, seemingly raised by animals, who subsequently came under human scrutiny; and he reviews the reports of anthropologists who have studied primitive (more correctly designated nonliterate) cultures throughout the world.
