tents, with the addition of the blood, eaten raw or boiled,&quot; 

 we see that transition from acquisition to production is, in 

 the lower races, hindered by the absence of feelings which in 

 the higher races have become pronounced. 



738. As a means of satisfying the desires, production in 

 creases as the desires multiply and become stronger ; and the 

 order in which the different kinds of production develop, is 

 determined by the relative strengths of the desires. 



The first of these truths, sufficiently obvious, is illustrated 

 by a statement of Rowney respecting the Gonds. After 

 saying that &quot; the Gond is excessively indolent and averse to 

 labour,&quot; he presently remarks that the Brinjaris (traders) 

 &quot; have succeeded in creating new wants and tastes among 

 them,&quot; and that payments for the satisfaction of these &quot; have 

 forced them to be more industrious in utilizing the produce 

 of their forests.&quot; So that growth of their desires, prompt 

 ing surplus production, has at the same time initiated ex 

 change. 



The other truth, exemplified in certain self-evident results, 

 is also exemplified in results that are not self-evident. Of 

 course the primary needs for food and warmth have first to 

 be in some degree met ; and of course, the first kinds of pro 

 duction are those subserving these primary needs. But long 

 before bodily wants are fully satisfied, certain mental wants 

 prompt other kinds of production. These are the desires 

 which beget war, and the desire for admiration the one 

 leading to the making of weapons and the other to the 

 making of decorations. Alien as these desires appear to be, 

 they are yet fundamentally related; since in both is shown 

 the ambition to be recognized as superior and to gain 

 applause. Hence, on the production of weapons, partly for 

 the chase but largely for war, great patience and skill are 

 bestowed by the savage, while a pointed stick is used for 

 digging up roots or even as an agricultural implement; and 

 hence, during early stages of civilization, the art shown in
