In the 1960s T. C. Lethbridge's challenging, probing studies were well established. First published in 1969, The Monkey's Tail was as remarkable as his previous investigations. Mr Lethbridge - who was trained in Natural Science before he became an archaeologist - had for years been unable to accept Darwin's theory of Evolution. In this book he examines the theory in the light of his observations and experience. He found it wanting in every particular which he examined.

In the first part of the book Mr Lethbridge puts his case against the theory of Evolution, and in the second part he shows that the known facts of Evolution could be equally well explained in another way. He had for many years been working on the 'fringe' study of Extra Sensory Perception, and he used that study to present an alternative theory to Darwinism.

Mr Lethbridge was well aware that much more evidence was needed before his ideas could either be proved or disproved finally; but they do provide a reasoned explanation based on years of careful study. The theory he put forward was not only more compatible with observed scientific fact at the time, but less at variance with accepted religious beliefs.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1969. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
