Researches Into the Early History of Mankind and the Development of Civilization (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
In studying the phenomena of knowledge and art, religion and mythology, law and custom, and the rest of the complex whole which we call Civilization, it is not enough to have in view the more advanced races, and to know their history so far as direct records have preserved it for us. The explanation of the state of things in which we live has often to be sought in the condition of rude and early tribes; and without a knowledge of this to guide us, we may miss the meaning even of familiar thoughts and practices. To take a trivial instance, the statement is true enough as it stands, that the women of modernE urope mutilate their ears to hang jewels in them, but the reason of their doing so is not to be fully found in the circumstances among which we are living now. The student who takes a wider view thinks of the rings and bones and feathers thrust through the cartilage of the nose; the weights that pull the slit ears in long nooses to the shoulder; the ivory studs let in at the corners of the mouth; the wooden plugs as big as table-spoons put through slits in the under lip; the teeth of animals stuck point outwards through holes in the cheeks; all familiar things among the lower races up and down in the world.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of early human culture, exploring the development of civilization through its various stages. The author argues that understanding the practices of ancient and primitive societies is essential for understanding the present, as seemingly mundane aspects of modern life, such as earrings, have roots in much older and more primitive cultural practices. The book examines how humans communicate, exploring the gesture language and picture writing as early forms of expression, while also analyzing the development of speech and writing. By comparing myths and customs across different cultures, the author aims to trace historical connections and unravel the shared origins of various traditions. Ultimately, the book provides a unique perspective on the evolution of human thought and behavior, highlighting the profound influence of the past on the present.
