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.
