Braidwood, R: Courses Toward Urban Life

Excerpt from Courses Toward Urban Life: Archeological Considerations of Some Cultural Alternates

Black Africa is, however, rich in ethnographic survivals in microenvironments that emphasize the very gradual and conservative nature of cultural progress in the subcontinent prior to the coming of Western civilization. It is both per missible and illuminating, therefore, to make critical comparisons between later prehistoric cultural assemblages in Similar environments and the way of life and material culture of existing, or recently existing, groups living at a similar cultural level. Not infrequently, also, physical anthropology shows that the same physical stock is associated.
