| Abstract, etc | Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday, in evolutionary time, when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions. The book gives a picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today |
