HUMAN HISTORY 106 



(1) The outline of human history can be roughly dated by (2) esti- 

 mating the length of the geological eras. (3) Little is known as to 

 the evolution of the Primate stock, but (4) the association of geo- 

 logical data, fossils, and cultural data give a table of human history. 

 (5) Fossil remains of man before the fourth glacial epoch. (6) Neander- 

 thal man in the fourth glacial epoch. (7) Numerous remains in the 

 post-glacial epoch. (8) Putting aside eoliths, (9) we have Lower, 

 Middle, and Upper Palaeolithic cultures, followed by (10) Neolithic 

 culture and (11) the age of metals. (12). Putting together fossil 

 and cultural evidence, we reach a scheme the details of which can 

 be filled in by (13) our knowledge of existing primitive races with 



(14) certain reservations.

 HUNTING AND FISHING RACES . . . . . .135 



(1) A survey of these races is undertaken to show the prevalence 

 of factors bearing upon fertility and elimination, and evidence of 

 (2) pre-puberty intercourse, (3) prolonged lactation, (4) initiation 

 ceremonies, (5) postponement of marriage, and (6) abstention from 

 intercourse is given. (7) Evidence of small average size of family. 

 (8) Among factors of elimination, abortion, (9) infanticide, (10) war- 

 fare, (11) feuds, (12) killing of old and sick, (13, 14) disease, and 



(15) child mortality are investigated.

PRIMITIVE AGRICULTURAL RACES 162 



(1) A similar survey of these races is undertaken, and evidence is 

 given regarding the prevalence in America (2) of pre-puberty inter- 

 course, (3) postponement of marriage, (4) prolonged lactation, 

 (5) abstention from intercourse, (6) small size of the family, (7) abor- 

 tion, (8) infanticide, (9) war, (10) feuds, (11) disease, (12) and child 

 mortality. (13) In Africa similarly regarding pre-puberty inter- 

 course, (14) lactation, (15) marriage, (16) abstention from intercourse, 

 (17) contraceptive methods, (18) size of family, (19) abortion, (20) in- 

 fanticide, (21) warfare, (22) feuds, (23) disease, (24) and child mortality. 

 (25) In Oceania regarding pre-puberty intercourse, (26) lactation, 

 (27) marriage, (28) abstention from intercourse, (29) contraceptive 

 practices, (30) size of family, (31) abortion, (32) infanticide, (33) war- 

 fare, (34) feuds, (35) and child mortality. (36) In Asia of the same 

 practices.
