This reissue of an older work has lost none of the original value. The well-known author definitely favors a psychological point of view and on the basis of his vast scientific experience he explodes the most recent racial myths which are so much in emotional vogue today in certain quarters. The historical review of the problem, while brief, is very comprehensive. It is difficult nevertheless to rid oneself of the impression that despite the title, The Mind of Primitive Man, the book really has little to do with the mind. Anthropology still struggles with various purely anatomical and physiological criteria and a more or less conceptual psychology.
