Suborganic Evolution: Or Thoughts On The Nebular Hypothesis is a book written by Albert Leverett Gridley in 1902. The book explores the concept of suborganic evolution, which is the idea that the evolution of living beings can be traced back to the evolution of inorganic matter. Gridley argues that the nebular hypothesis, which suggests that the solar system was formed from a cloud of gas and dust, provides a framework for understanding the evolution of both organic and inorganic matter. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the nebular hypothesis and its implications for the evolution of the solar system. The second part explores the concept of suborganic evolution in more detail, discussing the evolution of atoms, molecules, and crystals. Gridley argues that the evolution of these inorganic entities laid the foundation for the emergence of living beings. The third part of the book applies the concept of suborganic evolution to the evolution of living beings. Gridley suggests that the evolution of organic matter can be understood as a continuation of the evolution of inorganic matter. He discusses the role of natural selection in shaping the evolution of living beings and suggests that the process of evolution is ongoing and never-ending. Overall, Suborganic Evolution: Or Thoughts On The Nebular Hypothesis is a thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the origins and evolution of life. Gridley's ideas are still relevant today and continue to inspire scientific inquiry into the nature of evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
