Summary "Appletons' Popular Science Monthly, March 1899" by Various is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This issue of the magazine features a compilation of articles on diverse scientific topics, including social evolution, colonial life, and natural history, reflecting the interests and concerns of the time regarding advancements in knowledge and societal changes. At the start of the publication, several articles are presented, including one discussing the evolution of colonies and social dynamics, particularly the complexities of marital structures within colonial environments. The article delves into the historical context of monogamy and polygamy in colonization, examining how early settlers often adopted local customs, which sometimes led to unconventional and controversial relationships. It also touches upon the development of family structures and the evolution of living conditions in colonies, drawing parallels between social dynamics in the colonies and those in the mother country. Additionally, the opening includes a narrative about a whimsical yet informative exploration of a whip scorpion, capturing the author’s experiences and observations about this often-misunderstood creature, providing insights into the broader themes of scientific understanding and public perception of nature during this period.
