It is startling to discover in this age of moon shots and intercontinental missiles that there are groups living today as they did in t he Stone Age fifteen thousand years ago. In PRIMITIVE PEOPLES TODAY, Dr. Edward Weyer, Jr. describes fourteen archaic cultures which have in most cases completely escaped civilization. An anthropologist and for twenty-two years editor of Natural History Magazine, Dr. Weyer brings to this study his firsthand experience among preliterate groups from the arctic to the tropics. He relates the origins, socio-economic organization, initiation rituals, and mystical rites of such di berse societies as the Eskimos, ingeniously surviving in conditions paralleling the Ice Age; the American Navahos, formerly hunters of the far north; the Lacandones of Mexico who alone were able to resist subjugation by the Mayas; the headshrinking Jivaros of the Andes; and the Australian Aruntas.
