This is my third copy of Darlington's work, I think, maybe fourth. I've bought used each time because it's impossible to find a new copy. By far, this copy is in the best condition of all, and I think the lowest price. I recommend using this book seller to everyone.

The stimulation and the density of ideas of worth on cultural anthropology are incredibly absorbing. His succinct views on the amalgamations of stories and practices that have evolved into today’s religions have no peer. And that is just a small part of this book.
Not even Hg Wells’ short history of the world that I read back in 1955 has been so consistently well thought out and inspired And reliable in the quality of its ideas. I had it quite some time before I read it. Each dip into a few pages of it is a thing of satisfying joy. It is my favorite book. I first read it at least 20 years ago. I like to dip into it.

the above diatribe all from a "Christian" who doesn't understand-- and will never understand-- the first sentence and chapters of his Biblical document .....He probably thinks the ancient Israelites abided by a Roman calendar to write a history lesson for future generations two millennia beyond themselves, their people, and their temple.....unfortunately, a covenental document written to and for specific covenantal people, much like the Constitution, has been erroneously universalized, thus creating dialectic argumentation as concerning the modern preoccupation with human origins......the Israelites were only concerned about the development of The Temple and where it would eventually culminate (consummate). .....Please STUDY your Bible within it's own cultural/covenantal parameters; don't just read it. That way you will be open to study magisterial works like Darlington's free of an incongruous; erroneous, and lets face it; puerile world view. .............read Martin and Vaughn's "Beyond Creation Science".

C. D. Darlington looks at history from the perspective of biology and human behavior. Instead of simply declaring that thus-and-such happened, followed by such-and-thus, Darlington tells us why things happened. He describes the engines which have driven both historical individuals and civilizations to do as they have done. It's all there, from soup to nuts, in this comprehensive treatise on human civilization . . . and not in the least boring, I might add.

WHAT A LOAD OF "nonesenses..." Continuing the Work THAT Darwin's "BEGUN..." "The Descent of Man", """""""""""DARWIN""""""""""" THAT IS CONSIDERED BY YHE BIPARTISAN SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY AS A "GOD LESS"., AND, FULLY DEVELOPED, "BABOON..." AND, SOME OTHER RETARDED EVOLUTIONIST, IS CONTINUING HIS WORK..!!!!!!!!!!
It is more than obvious that whomever gave good ratings to an "Evolution Book..." is a friend of the Author, cause that retardance of Apes evolving Mens into is not Real, and those evolutionist's are a bunch of liers, words twisting; Babbon's...
But, these people have been deceiveng you all out there by saying:
-That an 1 1/2 feet Ape like Ida that took over 43 millions of years to evolved in a 3 feet Ape like Lucy, further evolved into over 5,000 humans Ethnics races in less than 3..! Just by chiling around the World and, mating on steroids..!
-That people in Africa got black, cuz the Sun Radiation, when Africa is not even the hottest place in Earth., but the Equator..!
(So, Equatorian's should be beyond black, cuz you turn black with Sun Radiation! But, that is not the case..!)
-THAT THE SUMERIAN CULTURE WERE NOTHING, BUT MYTH'S. YET, ANYBODY CAN TAKE AN ONLINE TOUR IN THE BRITISH HISTORY MUSEUM AND SEE SUMERIANS ARTIFACTS OF ALL KIND'S...
-THAT THE WHEEL CAME OUT OF CHINA. WHEN IN THE BRITISH H.M, ANYONE CAN SEE THE SUMERIANS CHARIOTS WITH WHEELS...
-THAT HUMANS STARTED CRAFTING METALS IN THE NEOLITHIC PERIOD, WHEN THE SUMERIANS SWORDS AND POTERY, WERE CRAFTED OUT OF METALS. AND, THERE ARE UP TO 17,000 YEARS OLD SITES AROUND THE WORLD, THAT HAVE METAL'S EMBEDDED IN THEIR STONES BLOCKS, LIKE; TIWANAKU..!
-THAT THOUSANDS OF PYRAMIDS AROUND THE WORLD WERE BUILT BY CULTURES UNKNOWN TO EACH OTHER BY "MERE" COINCIDENCE. DESPITE HAVING TREMENDOUS "ODVIOUS," COMMON ANCESTRY...!!!
(AND, SUCH OTHER LOAD OF NONESENSE'S THAT ARE "JAW" DROPPING... AND, YOU ALL ARE LEAVING YOUR KIDS AT SCHOOLS ACROSS AMERICA, AND THE WORLD , UNDER THE CARE OF THESE RETARDED, "GOD" LESS BABOON'S, THAT ARE DECEIVING YOU ALL., AND, SMILING AT YOUR FACES...)
