自从解剖学与生理学和实用医学分离以来，它就面临着被它所处理的材料同化的风险，从而成为一门“死亡的学科”。由于一种奇怪的悖论，当《物种起源》的出版极大地推动了形态学的研究时，这种趋势变得特别明显，尽管查尔斯·达尔文本人从来没有没有考虑到直接或间接影响动物结构进化的生理和心理因素。但是，当对形态的研究导致某些解剖学家将他们的学科视为他们乐于称之为“纯科学”，值得“为其本身”而培养的学科，而不仅仅是医科学生成为内科医生或外科医生后将探索的领域的地理时，一种不幸的倾向形成了一种倾向，即忽视对该学科的任何治疗，因为这可能会使它过度暴露于后一种解释。因此，它缺乏对功能的研究自然地对解释结构的尝试施加的那些充满活力的影响。PP.X+230。(《伦敦：爱德华·阿诺德，1916年》)价格为8美元。6d。NET。
EVER since anatomy became separated from physiology and practical medicine it has run the risk of being assimilated with the material with which it deals and itself becoming a “dead subject.” By a curious paradox this tendency became specially pronounced when the publication of “The Origin of Species” gave a great impetus to research in morphology, although Charles Darwin himself never failed to take into consideration the physiological and psychological factors which directly or indirectly affected the evolution of animal structure. But when the study of morphology led certain anatomists to regard their subject as what they were pleased to call a “pure science,” worthy of being cultivated “for its own sake,” and not merely as the geography of the territory the medical student would exploit when he became a physician or surgeon, an unfortunate tendency developed to disregard any treatment of the subject which might expose it unduly to the latter interpretation. As a result it suffered from the lack of those vitalising influences which the study of the functions naturally exerts upon attempts to explain structure.Arboreal Man.By Prof. F. Wood Jones.
