Mankind in the Making is H. G. Wells's sequel to Anticipations. Mankind in the Making analyzes the "process" of "man's making, " i. e." the great complex of circumstances which mould the vague possibilities of the average child into the reality of the citizen of the modern state. " Taking an aggressive tone in criticizing many aspects of contemporary institutions, Wells proposed a doctrine he called "New Republicanism, " which "tests all things by their effect upon the evolution of man."
