Salmon-colored quarter cloth over brown boards, with black and blue lettering and red designs on spine, textured sepia endpapers decorated in dark brown with pictures of primitive artwork, illustrated throughout with photographs, drawings and maps, 305 pp. Ever since man first walked upright, he has apparently found strangers to be somehow less human than himself. Every group has considered itself to be the "chosen people" and every deviation from its own ways seem to mark them as inferior. This attitude goes back to the beginning, to man's explanations of his own origins in the striking myths of creation which are told in The Many Worlds of Man. Rare! Beautifully illustrated and a fascinating read. Dust jacket has shelf-wear, light soiling and small chips missing at spine, text block pages clean, bright, gently read. Very good in a Good dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover..
