    (continued from front flap) ture: the problem of his primitive brute nature. With a billion years—possibly several billion—of future evolu¬ tion facing him, it behooves man, the primate, to begin applying the eugenics technique, carrying it to its logical conclusion of breeding a new race, and thereby controlling his evolutionary development according to a definite plan or goal. His brain will work out and formulate the de¬ tails of this plan as the future un¬ folds. This book explores the breath¬ taking potentialities and limitless possibilities which await man as he progresses down this dim, distant corridor of time, as his sense percep¬ tions become more refined, as his physical appearance changes—as he begins to explore the galaxy. What and where will man be a billion years hence? i Exposition Press Inc. 386 Fourth Ave. New York 16
