Description
The Childhood of Man is a book written by Leo Frobenius in 1909, which provides a popular account of the lives, customs, and thoughts of the primitive races. The book aims to explore the early stages of human civilization, from the earliest known cultures to the present day. It is a comprehensive and detailed study of the various indigenous cultures and tribes around the world, including those of Africa, Asia, and the Americas.Frobenius was a German ethnologist and archaeologist who devoted his life to the study of primitive cultures. He traveled extensively throughout Africa and other parts of the world, collecting artifacts and studying the customs and beliefs of the people he encountered. The Childhood of Man is the culmination of his life's work, and it is considered to be one of the most important works in the field of anthropology.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of primitive culture. Frobenius covers topics such as the origins of man, the development of language, the evolution of religion, and the role of art in primitive societies. He also explores the ways in which primitive cultures have adapted to their environments and the challenges they have faced throughout history.Throughout the book, Frobenius emphasizes the importance of understanding and preserving the cultural heritage of these early civilizations. He argues that by studying the customs and beliefs of primitive cultures, we can gain a greater appreciation for the diversity of human experience and the richness of our shared history.Overall, The Childhood of Man is a fascinating and informative book that offers a unique perspective on the early stages of human civilization. It is a must-read for anyone interested in anthropology, archaeology, or the history of human culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
