	James Burnett, Lord Monboddo - LoveToKnow 1911
		JAMES BURNETT MONBODDO, Lord (1714-1799), Scottish judge and anthropologist, was born in 1714 at Monboddo in Kincardineshire.
		He studied at Aberdeen, and, after passing his law examinations in Edinburgh, he quickly took a leading position at the Scottish bar, being made a Lord of Session in 1767 with the title of Lord Monboddo.
		In his Antient Metaphysics (1 779- 1 799), Monboddo conceived man as gradually elevating himself from an animal condition, in which his mind is immersed in matter, to a state in which mind acts independently of body.

		James Burnett was born at Monboddo, Kincardineshire (Scotland) in October or November 1714 and died of a stroke in Edinburgh on 26 May 1799.

		In 1778 Monboddo is reported to have had a dream during a fever in which a beautiful woman lectured him on philosophy in French.

	James Burnett, Lord Monboddo Information
		Monboddo was the first to formulate what is now known as the single-origin hypothesis, the theory that all human origin was from a single region of the earth; he reached this conclusion by reasoning from linguistic evolution (Jones, 1789).
		Monboddo is considered by a number of scholars (Cloyd, 1972), (Gray, 1929), (Lovejoy, 1933) as a precursive thinker in the theory of evolution.
		Monboddo suffered a setback in his standing on evolutionary thought, because he claimed that men had caudal appendages; some historians failed to take him very seriously after that remark, even though Monboddo was known to bait his critics with preposterous sayings.
