Excerpt from The Story of Man: From the First Human to Primitive Culture and Beyond
One can have little more to say after having written a history Of the world, even as short and limited a one as this. I am ex hausted, and amazed at my foolhardiness. SO many years have I spent On it that I cannot remember all the people who helped me. If I fail to mention anyone who deserves it, my apologies are Of fered. Of those who tried to educate me, four men contributed particularly to what went into the planning and execution Of this volume. The late Charles T. Copeland tried to teach me to write, and the late Earnest Hooton inspired me as he did dozens Of others to make anthropology my career. Eliot Chapple taught me about social anthropology, and William Crozier taught both Chapple and me about scientific method.
