Abstract
IN 1929 the Royal Anthropological Institute inaugurated courses of open lectures of a popular character, of which the first series dealing with early man, delivered in the winter session 1929–30, is published in this volume. Of six lectures in all, three deal with the origin and descent of man from the point of view of the physical anthropologist, and three with aspects of the beginnings of culture. Of these latter, that by Mr. Miles Burkitt on “Most Primitive Art” is printed in abstract only, but compensation for the lack of a fuller development of his demonstration of the method of study by ‘art groups’ is forthcoming in the examples from French and Spanish caves and from South Africa, which have not been published previously.
