The first textbook of comparative psychology. Influential both in psychology and biology, Morgan after 1909 was Professor of Psychology at the Univ. of Bristol. Morgan's Canon, though well-known and only a special application of Occam's Razor is worth repeating: "In no case may we interpret an action as the outcome of the exercise of a higher psychical faculty, if it can be interpreted as the exercise of one which stands lower in the psychological scale."

Prichard's popularization of his important Researches into the Physical History of Man (first published 1813; from the 1826 second edition on "Mankind" instead of "Man"), in which he argued for and assembled a massive amount of anthropological evidence for the unitary origin of the human race, an issue that was a lifelong interest of Prichard's (his 1808 University of Edinburgh dissertation was on the topic).

One of the first to conceive the possibility of a comparative psychology, Prichard compiled evidence in four different fields to demonstrate mankind's unity: the physiological and and psychological character of races; the demonstration of stable breeding populations formed by racial hybridization; comparative racial anatomy; ethnographic investigation.

(1836-47) and contained many color plates. In that form it synthesized all then known information about the various races of mankind, forming a basis for modern ethnological research" [GM-5 #159]. Though it was in the second edition that Prichard first set forth the idea of the unity of mankind, it is in the third edition that he most expansively argued on the basis of historical and linguistic analysis that the various human groups were all connected and thus that the human race formed a single species, ignoring the issues of genesis and color that he had been concerned with in previous editions. Prichard is equally famous for coining the concept of moral insanity (our modern psychopathy), first widely introduced into psychiatry in his 1835 Treatise on Insanity.

A Jesuit zoologist and leading entomologist, Wasmann specialized in the study of ants and myrmecophiles, of which latter he described 933 new species. "Early in his career, Wasmann had dismissed evolutionary theory, ostensibly because it could not explain certain marvelous instincts of insects . . . But in the 1890s, he had converted to a Drieschian version of evolutionary theory—principally for empirical reasons. He had invstigated the slave-making instinct of several groups of ants—the same subject that had occupied Darwin in the Origin's chapter on instinct—and determined the instinct's various stages of development among related species and subspecies" [Robert Richards, Darwin and the Emergence of Evolutionary Theories of Mind and Behavior, pp. 524-25].

Regius Professor of Natural History at the University of Aberdeen and a Scots ecologist and fisheries expert, Wynne-Edwards argued in this influential book that nature controlled reproduction through group selection. Wynne-Edwards found "that despite the expected tendency of each individual to increase its representation in the next generation, community numbers kept within optimum limits. It was as if individuals altruistically gave up a selfish advantage in order to contribute to the welfare of their society. [He] argued that nature provided species with homeostatic regulatory mechanisms, most of which involved social behaviors of great variety (e.g., flocking, schooling, fomring dominance hierarchies), in order to control reproduction" [Robert Richards, Darwin and the Emergence of Evolutionary Theories of Mind and Behavior, pp. 538-39].

Jacobus X was a "[c]ollective pseudonym used by various authors, first by Louis Jacolliot [1837-1890], whose works were published by Isidore Liseux in the late 19th century. After Lisieux's death (ca. 1892) Charles Carrington attempted to continue his publishing role, using many pseudonyms, including Jacobus X. A Dr. Sutor was associated with this name, as were two translators, Francis D. Byrne and Allinson (who translated Jacolliot's original L'Amour aux colonies under title Untrodden Fields of Anthropology" Information in the Institute for Sex Research Catalog at Indiana University supplied by Gershon Legman.
