What reading level is Some First Steps in Human Progress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is true that there are many things in the life of these little northern folk to remind us of the ancient Stone Age man of France ; they live generally by hunting, using bone and horn for tips of lances, spears, harpoons ; they have a passion for carving bone or ivory, and delight in representing animal forms in their artistic efforts; the patterns of their tools are frequently strikingly like those of the cave-dwellers. Those who hold to such a view see in the curious gallery huts of the Esk...imo re- productions of the old cave houses. The Eskimo house is built either of stone, of earth, or of blocks of ice and snow ; in either case, it consists of a long, low gallery, through which one crawls or walks with difficulty, opening into a larger room, which is generally covered by a dome-shaped building. Such a building does, in more than one respect, suggest a cave house ; its form, however, is so well adapted to the conditions of the land in which the Eskimo lives, that it may be questioned whether, after all, it would not have been independently de- veloped in such regions, by a race which never had inhabited caves.
