The Niam - Niam, again, who declare war by hanging on a tree an ear of maize, a fowl's feather, and an arrow, thereby giving contingent enemies to understand that arrows will avenge any injury done to a single fowl or a single ear of maize, convey their meaning quite as clearly as the most politely framed ultimata of any Foreign Office in Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primitive Manners and Customs From the myths characteristic of savage tribes, from their beliefs, their proverbs, their political and social regulations, it is here sought to gain some general estimate of their powers of intelligence and imagination, their moral ideas, and their religion; subjects naturally of much interest and inevitably of some dispute. For the reason that in savagery as in civilisation there are heights and depths, with more of light here, more of darkness there, it is quite impossible to bring the whole of savage life into focus at once, so that every general conclusion can only be taken as true within limits. The field to be studied is also so large and diversified, that no two minds can expect to derive from it the same impressions, nor to attain to more than partial truth about it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the title, author and barrister James A. Farrer's book is a defense on behalf of groups that the English people of the 19th century see as 'savages', arguing that instead, these groups use different methods to arrive at the same conclusion that the English do. In his own words, Farrer gave the following example: "Statements of very low powers of numeration have been perhaps too hastily taken as indicative of a low state of intelligence; for not only have similar assertions concerning American and Tasmanian tribes by the earliest voyagers proved on subsequent investigation to be erroneous, but many savages have substitutes for our arithmetic which serve them perfectly well."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manners and Trials of the Primitive Christians The Author of the following Volume was led, several years ago, to direct his attention to the Christians of the three first centuries, under the impression, that if ever pure and genuine Christianity existed to any great extent among men, it would be found exemplified in the character and state of those who were contemporaries of the Apostles, or lived in the age immediately succeeding. The interest of the study increased as he advanced; and he felt, that while there was a great deal to admire, and some things also to condemn, these inquiries into the habits and state of the primitive believers, formed altogether one of the most delightful and improving pursuits in which he had ever engaged.

Book excerpt: In this landmark text of anthropology, Franz Boas profiles various groups of primitive peoples, analyzing their hereditary characteristics, morphology, language and cultures. Brimming with incisive analysis and fascinating interpretations of early man, Boas begins by acknowledging the sheer diversity of peoples in the world. The variation in language, physical appearance, cultural mores and traditions are extraordinary, with differing behavioral standards and practices unique to each. Though dealing with a formidable subject of global scope, the author proceeds with determination and intellectual rigor, demonstrating how geographic disparity, variations in climate, and divergent psychology resulted in distinct cultures. Famous for challenging existing views, including those of eugenics and white supremacy, The Mind of Primitive Man became a foundational text of modern anthropologic science. Its well-argued topics, rooted in the author's voracious study and experience, contradicted existing theories and assumptions of nature versus nurture, and the relationship between environment and human intelligence. For his part, Boas held out hope that anthropology would form a role in education, increasing tolerance for the differences between cultures, and acknowledgement of the value all have contributed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primitive Mentality In order to get hold, as it were, of the main point - the processes essential to primitive mentality - I have purposely chosen for my analyses the simplest and least ambiguous Of facts. In this way I hoped to lessen the chances Of error which in so complex a subject are very numerous, and to demonstrate more clearly the actual functioning Of the constituent principles of this mentality. I have consequently adhered to the study of what, to primitives, are the unseen powers by which they feel themselves surrounded on all sides - their dreams, the omens they Observe or incite, ' ordeals, bad death, the extraordinary things brought by white people, their remedies, etc. The reader, therefore, must not expect to find here a study Of primitive mentality as it relates to the technique of uncivilized communities (the inventing and perfecting of tools and weapons, the care of animals, construction of buildings, cultivation Of the soil, and so on), or to their oft-times complex institutions, such as the organization of family life, or totemism.

Download or read book Manners Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manners The very extensive sale of Practical Etiquette, a sale that has required the is suance of a large number of editions of the little manual, has been very gratifying to its author, as was also the commission of its publisher to re-write and enlarge the work. This commission, however, brought with it a keen sense of responsibility, for the author feels that a new work on etiquette can find a raz'son d'e'z're only in a fairly successful attempt at answering practically every ques tion that can arise concerning social rela tions, at least in ordinary social life. But to speak with authority on all matters of good form is to Speak dogmatically, and so to speak is in itself not good form. Nevertheless, and in Spite of this dilem ma, the author has attempted herein to decide, when compelled to do so, between conflicting opinions in mere matters of social custom, and has given as authority the opinion that seemed to her to conform most nearly to common sense, embodyingsuch opinion in an unqualified statement without citing authority. Fortunately, social customs are now so nearly uniform in all parts of the country, that one familiar with the ways of good society in the West or in the North, is at home in good society in the East or in the South.
