Primitive Labour

Primitive Labour Synopsis

Originally published in 1924, Dudley Buxton explores the evolution of primitive societies in relation to labour. This is mostly done by studying primitive inventions to try and understand how each of these inventions was used to contribute to everyday living and to develop the society's material culture. This study places an emphasis on understanding the importance of various industrial tools to societies in relation to different industries and geographical factors such as climate. This title will be of interest to students of Anthropology.
