What reading level is Sketches of Creation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whole villages, it would seem, must have cast into one common pile the refuse of their tables. These accumulations 'are sometimes several hundred yards in length, and from three to nine feet in height The flint folk, whose household ware is mingled with the kitchen rubbish, m.ust have dwelt in huts above the ground. At a somewhat later epoch we know that they drove piles in the lakes of Central Europe, and con- structed platforms on which their dwellings were built.
From these habitations they ...cast into the lake the refuse of their houses. By dredging, we recover stores of broken pottery, and implements of stone for cutting and for skin- ning, together with the bones of quadrupeds known to in- habit Europe in the Age of Stone. The dolmens of the same epoch prove also that primeval man understood the art of rough masonry.
There is no decisive proof that the earliest flint folk en- gaged in the cultivation of the soil or the domestication of the wild beasts. It is true that we find associated with human relics the remains of the hog, the dog, the ox, the horse, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the reindeer, the ele- phant, all of which have been domesticated in subsequent ages ; and we certainly are not precluded from the pre- sumption that some of these animals began to yield willing obedience to man even in this twilight epoch.
