What do you really know about yourself? When did man stand erect upon the earth for the first time? How old is human marriage? What is religion? Why do we clothe ourselves? How did man discover that he had a soul?

Here is one of the most fearless and truthful discussions of human nature ever written. It tells you thousands of fascinating tales about yourselfstartling, extraordinary things you never suspected. Illustrated not only with remarkable pen sketches and color drawings, but with hundreds of actual photographs.

Man's Habits and Instincts Traced Back to Their Source

All civilization is but a thin veneer over the surface of savagery. The habits, customs, impressions, fears, impulses and passions accumulated by our ancestors since the beginning of life still slumber within us.

For instance, there existed in the dawn of life a human pairing-off system which took place at a time that corresponds to what is now June. That accounts for the modern urge to marry in June.

Similarly, we throw rice after the bride because it satisfies a certain primitive impulse, and we dare not say in words what this curious old custom suggests.
