Synopsis

The Making of Humanity is a historical and anthropological book written by Robert Briffault in 1919. The book explores the evolution of human society from prehistoric times to the modern era. Briffault argues that the development of human society is not solely based on biological factors, but also on cultural and environmental factors.The book is divided into three parts: the first part discusses the origins of human society, the second part focuses on the development of civilization, and the third part examines the impact of modernization on human society. Briffault draws on a wide range of sources, including archaeological evidence, historical records, and anthropological studies to support his arguments.The Making of Humanity covers a broad range of topics, including the emergence of language, the development of agriculture, the rise of religion, the invention of writing, the growth of trade and commerce, and the impact of colonialism. Briffault also explores the role of women in society and the evolution of gender roles.Overall, The Making of Humanity is a comprehensive and insightful examination of the evolution of human society. Briffault's analysis is still relevant today and provides a valuable perspective on the forces that have shaped human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Making of Humanity CHAPTER I PROGRESS AS FACT AND VALUE I THE DISCOVERY OF MAN a ra Seiva Kovley avdpunrov Cety6repoy ireet. A ntigone. THE intellectual revolution of the nineteenth century has transformed our conceptions of human history in much the same manner as the intellectual revolution of the seventeenth century changed our view of the cosmic universe. Like the Ptolemaic world our notions concerning the career of our race were miserably stunted, dingy, and mean. The date 4004 B.C. was gravely accepted as the boundary of our retrospect ;and long before reaching back to it the conventional fable of history which, like the primitive epic whence it evolved, was chiefly concerned with racial, dynastic, and religious edification, faded into pure legend and mythology. As when awakening science crashed through the tinsel vaults of puerile cosmologies, discovering the sun-strewn infinities amid which speeds our quivering earth-speck, so have the mists of legend lifted before her radiant progress, and it is given us to view the panorama of mans long and wonderful career in something of its natural perspective and proportion.
