Was Early Man a Savage Z
From Good Words.

It is wonderful thing how abso.
Lutte is the silence Of our race on
their own early history. Putting
aside, of course, the Scripture nara.
tive which is OF much later date, no
whisper comes to us out of the
depths of time from man himself to
tell US of his own origin, or Of his
own early history. Some people say
this is natural enough, because man
was at first q savage. But I must
frankly confess that do not believe
that theory. There is another way
OF accounting for ton the supposi.
ton that man in the childhood of
the race was as we were in our indi-
vidual childhood, and was possessed
of that blessed Inconsistencies of
self which is the charm OF all child
hood. 1t does not occur to child
to write a diary OF his own existence.
But let no one tell me that man was
savage when know that the in
ventions of early man were infinitely
more important than those Of later
days, of which we are so proud.
The man who drew the first spark Of
fire was far greater inventor than
the man who struck the first spark
of electricity. Look, again, at the
invention, which must have been
the result of many processes. by
which certain natural grasses were
gradually made to produce those
crops upon which we all depend
those cereals which are the staple
OF human consumption all over the
globe. We must get some other ex
PLANTATION of the silence of Man than
that he was a savage.
