"The relation of man to Nature primordially and of savage races in the present
day is, as we know, very different from what it has been represented to be by
poets and philosophers. In the delightful pictures their fancy painted there
was nothing true: the idyllic conditions amid which they fancied the still
youthful human race as living never have existed anywhere. The history of man
the world over has its beginning not in a golden age, but in an age of stone.
Instead of noble shepherds and lovely shepherdesses, who, under benignant
skies amid picturesque scenes, live in innocence on the produce of their
flocks, decorously enjoying all the purest gifts of fortune, the reality
presents to our view rude, uncouth hordes struggling against hunger, against
wild beasts, against the inclemency of the seasons; buried in filth, in
groveling ignorance, and brutal selfishness; their women made slaves, their
old people cast out; practising cannibalism first out of necessity, and then
because superstitious usage had hallowed the custom..."
