Protoplasm (Classic Reprint): Its Origin, Varieties, and Functions: Its Origin, Varieties, and Functions (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Protoplasm is the living substance at the heart of life, explained for curious readers and students alike. This concise volume invites you to follow the ideas about how living matter first appeared, how protoplasm is formed, and how it powers the cells of both plants and animals. It also connects these ideas to the way mind arises from the brain’s grey matter, and how life evolves in a continuous, natural sequence.
The book frames big questions with accessible explanations: the origin of matter, how simple molecules assemble into living cells, and how the complex activities of protoplasm sustain growth, movement, and thought. It emphasizes that life is a property of protoplasm, and that mind is a set of phenomena produced by the nervous system’s tissue.
- Learn what protoplasm is and why biologists call it the basis of life
- See how living matter may have evolved from nonliving material
- Understand how the brain’s grey matter relates to consciousness, memory, and will
- Discover how environment can influence innate cellular activity without creating life itself
Ideal for readers of science history, biology basics, and anyone curious about how life and mind arise from the same cellular substance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand.
