Text block crisp and square. 409 numbered pages and unnumbered final page of index. Pages clean (except the underlined essay). Title page dated 1963. Copyright page states First American Edition. It was published in England by a different publisher in the same year; it's not perfectly clear which was first (although the Ciba foundation was based in the UK, so it's likely the UK edition came out ahead of the US one). Contains the essay Biological Possibilities for the Human Species in the Next Ten Thousand Years by JBS Haldane, which is thought to be the first serious discussion of human cloning. Also contains essays by Julian Huxley and Nobel Prize winner Hermann J.Muller. The essay with all the underlining is Artur Glikson's Man's Relationship to His Environment.

Man and His Future is an anthology derived from a 1963 London symposium sponsored by the Ciba Foundation that brought together sixteen internationally recognized biologists to discuss the long-term prospects of human evolution and scientific progress.

The collection also features a contribution by Julian Huxley, whose evolutionary humanism and familial connection to Brave New World underscore the intersection of science and speculative ethics.…
