First published in 2007. Deemed as an important contribution to the
study of certain aspects of South American native civilisation,
collated over five years, and includes personal observations as
well as literature relating to the customs and beliefs of the
native Indians in this vast area.
This book, first published in 1935, collects together material on
the origins of religion from two very different sources. South
America, where the author spent six years studying the religious
beliefs and customs of several Indian tribes representing different
stages of culture; and the Finno-Ugrian area, where Finnish and
Russian ethnologists had brought to light a new body of facts which
formed an important addition to our knowledge of religious life at
an early stage of cultural development. This book is a key work in
the study of comparative religion, and is an essential reference
source on the origins of religion.
