The book shows clearly how human societies develop and survive in what appears to be a luxuriant Garden of Eden but is really a counterfeit paradise. The author analyzes adaptations in technology social institutions and ideologies and the theoretical basis for this analysis is provided in lucid and provocative statement of evolutionary theory applied to culture."

Myers Curator Emeritus Department of Herpetology along with John W. Daly discovered several new species of frogs and identified over 300 new alkaloids derived from the frog skins.

The skin of this frog contains about one milligram of poison enough to kill 10000 mice or 10 to 20 humans if the poison entered their bloodstreams. Myers was first to explain how the Embera Indians of western Colombia use the frogs to prepare poison darts for their blowguns. . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.

It is not intended to interest the specialist in non-Western music who will find little here that is new to him. I have not covered systematically the music of all primitive cultures. It has been my purpose rather to show the kinds of phenomena that occur in primitive music to give examples and to indicate how they have been studied and to what general conclusions they have led."
