James Arthur 1842-1930

The published lectures from the James Arthur lecture series on the Evolution of the Human Brain have been digitized and added to our Scientific Publications Digital Library.

The annual James Arthur lecture series on the Evolution of the Human Brain was inaugurated at the American Museum of Natural History in 1932, through a bequest from James Arthur, a successful manufacturer with a particular interest in mechanisms including the most precise and delicate mechanism of them all, the human brain. Free full-text downloads are available for all published lectures within this lecture series.
