To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The most conservative student of prehistoric records would not estimate the life of our 78 ETHNIC PSYCHOLOGY species at less than fifty thousand years, and it is much more Hkely to be double that duration. The date of anything like civilisation is much more recent. Even in its oldest centres, as Egypt or Babylonia, to place its beginning ten thousand years ago is to exceed the demands of the boldest anti- quary ; while over most of the now civilised areas of the globe a condition of barbarism p...revailed until less than two thousand years ago. These facts prove wide variations in the rate of progress, very slow movements in earlier times and lower conditions, singularly rapid advances in later high conditions. « We are led to the conclusion, therefore, that the rate is not by one mode of progression but by sev- eral. ' I. By arithmetical progession (addition). 2. By geometrical progression (multiplication). 3. By saltatory progression (permutation). These are not to be applied too strictly, but it is safe to make the general statement about them that they correspond to the three stages of culture, — savagery, half-culture, and full-culture.
