About this book

Evidence of mental action in creatures lower than man is set out in short, plain form by James Weir Jr., M.D., who writes for general readers and avoids technical terms. The introduction separates conscious from unconscious mind, using the jellyfish as an example. Chapter I looks at touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing in animals from tiny single-celled creatures to snails, crayfish and insects, and Chapter II begins on conscious determination.

Weir says he studied biology for twenty years and used only evidence he trusted.
