Excerpt from Semitic and Hamitic Origins: Social and ReligiousPerhaps, in view of these changes of opinion, some readers may consider it not worth while to read the pages which follow. Is there any guarantee that the opinions here expressed are nearer the truth than those put forth thirty years ago? Any who so ques tion cannot be aware that in science opinions and theories are never final, they are always subject to change as facts previously unknown come to light. The worker who, under such circumstances, refuses to change his opinions ceases to be a scientist. In physics many of the theories which were thought to be well established thirty years ago have been entirely displaced, and the theory of matter, now held on the basis of convincing evidence, was undreamed of then. The writer ventures therefore to hope that the Openness of mind which has led him, as knowledge has increased, to replace theories a'rdently embraced in youth by others, more in accord with facts now known, will commend his present work to thoughtful readers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
