Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Man and Beast There are few people so dull or so frivolous that they are not interested in the beginnings of human history. We all long at times for some Aladdin's lamp which shall enable us to thread our way through the fogs and mists with which time has shrouded the old story. The traditions of men have responded to this yearning in various ways, some allegorical and some prosaic; while in some, again, the too fantastic story has been worked over and made to look more reasonable by later hands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Man in America Now the evolution of man from what Herbert Spencer terms a highly differentiated portion of the earth's crust and gaseous envelope, or what Dr. Theodore Nicholas (lill, Dean of American Biologists, calls a worm-like thing belonging to the earliest period of our earth's history, or his ascent from a prehistoric savage, is far front being a demonstrated fact.

Download or read book Prehistoric Man written by Daniel Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Man: Researches Into the Origin of Civilisation in the Old and the New World But have we then no alternative between man plus the arti ficialities of civilisation, and man minus the influential Operation of moral laws which have their efficient equivalents in the instincts of all other animals; or can we not realize even in theory an intermediate normal condition? Such questions are replete with interest, whatever he the value of the answers rendered here to some Of the difficulties they suggest. The ethnologist does indeed study man from the same point of View as the mere naturalist but to do so to any good purpose, this essential difference between man and all other animals must be kept in View that in him a being appears for the first time among the multitude of animated organi zations, subject to natural laws as they are, but including within himself the power of interpreting and controlling the Operation of those laws; of accumulating and transmitting experience; and, above all, of looking in upon the workings of his own mind, and recog nising as part of his nature a system of moral government which he may obey or resist, though not with impunity. Our aim, therefore, is to isolate him from extraneous influences, and look, if possible, on man per 86; or at least where he can be shown to have attained maturity, exposed only to such influences as are the Ofl'spring of his own progress. In so far as this is possible we may hope to recover some means of testing man's innate capacity, and of determining by comparison what is common to the race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Man and His Story: A Sketch of the History of Mankind From the Earliest Times It would surely be a great pity if ordinary intelligent readers could no longer follow comfortably the most interesting of all sciences, and we have therefore avoided technical terms wherever it was possible, and we have tried to keep the main outline clear and consecutive. I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to avoid repeating what has already been given in full detail in books of the same nature, and preferred foreign authorities as being less accessible to the general reader. It must also be remembered that to every question discussed in the following pages, there are not merely two, but several sides. The solution is always a matter of probability and balance of evidence. I have selected that solution which seems most satisfying, and which best explains the facts as at present known.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Man, Vol. 1 of 2: Researches Into the Origin of Civilisation in the Old and the New World The first edition of Prehistoric Man, published in 1862, was l'ollowed in 1865 by another, carefully revised in accordance with later disclosures. Since then I have wailed myself of further opportunities for study and research in reference both to existing races, and to the arts and monumental remains of extinct nations of the New \vorld. Within the same period important addi tions have been contributed to our knowledge not only of the arts, but of the physical characteristics of primeval man in Europe. In the present edition, accordingly, much of the original work has been rewritten. Several chapters have been replaced by new matter. Others have been condensed, or recast, with considerable modifi cations and a new arrangement of the whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of Prehistoric Man in the Dakotas The work of exploration of the remains of prehistoric man in Dakota Territory was begun by me in the summer of 1883, and since then I have completed the exploration of 40 of the ancient artificial mounds in that region, have inspected the exterior of very many others, and have examined numerous specimens obtained from the latter. Twenty-four of the mounds explored were in Ramsey county, 8 were in Benson county, 6 in Walsh county, and 2 in Grand Forks county. Others studied to some extent were in these and other counties of what is now North Dakota, and still others were on the Fort Sisseton reservation and elsewhere in South Dakota.

Download or read book Primitive Man Classic Reprint written by Z. Sidney Sampson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primitive Man Working upon these data, Prof. Croll asserts that the first of these periods of great eccentricity began years ago, and lasted years; the second began years Since and lasted years; the third commenced years ago and lasted years. This would give us, since the termination of the last glacial era (or eras), years. But it is certain that man of the river-drift period lived in pre-glacial times, and if we accept the conclusion that the most recent glacial era commenced years ago, we must allow not less than years ago as the date of the close of the Pliocene period, and the probable first appearance of man. Other theories which have been proposed to account for the Glacial Age, such as variations in the intensity Of solar radiation, the movement Of the earth from a colder into a warmer region of Space, alteration in the axis of the earth and others, are fully stated and criticized in the twelfth chapter of Sir John Lubbock's Prehistoric Man, as are also investigations into existing deposits and formations with a view to ascertaining the probable antiquity of the stone and bronze ages.

Download or read book Man Past and Present Classic Reprint written by A. H. Keane and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man, Past and Present In the preface to the Ethnology, which formed the first volume of the Cambridge Geographical Series, a promise was held out that it might be followed by another dealing more systematically with the primary divisions of mankind. The present volume appears in part fulfilment of that promise. In the Ethnology were discussed those more fundamental questions which concern the human family as a whole - its origin and evolution, its specific unity, antiquity and primitive cultural stages, together with the probable cradle and area of dispersion of the four varietal divisions over the globe. Here these divisions are treated more in detail, with the primary view of establishing their independent specialisation in their several geographical zones, and at the same time elucidating the difficult questions associated with the origins and inter-relations of the chief sub-groups, and thus bridging over the breaks of continuity between "Man Past and Present." The work is consequently to a large extent occupied with that hazy period vaguely called prehistoric, when most of the now living peoples had already been fully constituted in their primeval homes, and had begun those later developments and migratory movements which followed at long intervals after the first peopling of the earth by pleistocene man. By such movements were brought about great changes, displacements, and dislocations, involving fresh ethnical groupings, with profound modifications, or even total effacements of racial or linguistic characters, and complete severance from the original seats of the parent stocks. In some cases the connecting ties are past recovery, so that the ethnical, like the geological, record must always remain to some extent a mutilated chapter in the history of the world and of humanity.
