Here we shall encounter the principal differenti- ation between animal and human action on the natural forces or forms. An animal, though it may modify environment, utilizes the neighbouring medium without any hint of a transformation of IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 13 general conditions aroun^ him, or to draw from natural functioning increasing series of advantages. 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. But if we consider the geographical conditions, particularly to the north and south of the long diaphragma of moimtains that goes from the Pyrenees to the eastern extremity of Asia, we notice that Nature has given to the different slopes of these chains two classes of different climates, indicative of various sorts of life.
