Excerpt from The Plateau Peoples of South America: An Essay in Ethnic Psychology The Evolutionary Philosophy of the latter part of the nineteenth century has had a deep and lasting influence upon the various schools of political thought, an influence which has not, however, made wholly for good or clear thinking. The Theory of Evolution has made us familiar with the idea that there are stages in the progress of man towards the present highest point, which we naturally believe to be represented by ourselves, and scientific writers have given the impression that these stages are more or less adequately illustrated by existing races both savage and semi-civilized.
