Item description from seller

This copy is in fine, condition bound in brown cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. There is some evidence of damp to the top edge, this does not affect the text. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in fine condition, there is some damp staining to the inside top edge. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. The date 10,000 B.C. marks an interlude, an in‐between imminent time, in the story of man. The world was roomier then, containing an estimated 10,000,000 persons. All of them, like us, were full‐fledged members of the Homo sapiens club. All were hunter‐gatherers, living predominantly on wild plants and wild animals. It was a kind of heyday of prehistory—man having adapted successfully to environments from semideserts and savannas and tropical forests to rigorous winter regions not far from the edges of mile‐high glaciers. A number of important studies conducted during the past century or so are ably summarized in “The Hunting Peoples” by Carleton Coon, one of the most prolific and articulate writers among current anthropologists. A research associate at Harvard's Peabody Museum and former curator of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, he discusses the ways of past and present tribes: some, like the Tasmanians, wiped out by white settlers during the 19th century; others, like a few remaining Australian aborigines and the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, living very much as they lived thousands of years ago; and still others, like the American. Indians, hunters no longer and sharing the frustrations of all minorities. “The Hunting Peoples” is an inventory of many things be sides hunting techniques. It also deals with some of the fine points about tools and tool‐making, sleds and canoes and other methods of trans port, gods and rituals and myths, marriage and kinship systems. Ref BB 3.…
