Nowadays our analyses of the geographical distribution of animals 

 and plants is based upon the assumption that this distribution is 

 indicative of the wanderings of such organisms from some common 

 centre, governed by " barriers " such as temperature, mountain- 

 ranges, forests, deserts, or large areas of water ; or they may be 

 determined entirely by the matter of food-supply. But the ethno- 

 logist, in his endeavours to trace the birthplace and spread of 

 ancient customs and beliefs, commonly ignores this method of 

 argument. He sees in them no evidence of genetic relationship, 

 but attributes their existence to the " similarity of the working of 

 the human mind." Each of such customs or beliefs are for him, in 

 short, a special creation. Bather than abandon this archaic mode 

 of reasoning he will swallow whole caravans of camels.
