Here we shall encounter the principal differenti- ation between animal and human action on the natural forces or forms.

The case of man is different. His sense of observation and his social adaptability enable him to profit by many natural circumstances.... An early and fundamental differentiation based on these conditions has probably been the separation of nomad and sedentary societies. Traditional history divides humanity into nomad and sedentary peoples. It seems that these two principal modes of understanding and expressing life are rooted in the bones and nerves of v&rious fractions of humanity.
