Three main stages in the past evolution of human culture (the material aspect of which may be de- fined as knowledge of, and control ove...r, environ- ment) are generally recognized, viz.: Savagery, Barbarism, and Civilization. The lowest stages of human culture, as contrasted witii prehiunan con- ditions, begin with the fashioning of crude stone implements and with the use of fire. Middle stages are marked by the making of beautiful stone imple- ments and by the introduction of the use of copper and bronze.
