Capitolo 2
This historical period is not the same in all the countries. Various
from some centuries in our his/her own country to some thousand of
years in Oriental earths. In any country it is there a hard and fast
line that separates the historical period from the prehistoric one. In the
weak perspective of years that the light it is gradually grown weak, the
fog grows thicker and more often in front of us and we we finally find
us does for facing with the unknown past.
This wide period of time is not, however, suddenly lost to
us. We have to simply gather our information in of the other way.
Enthusiastic explorers, digging under of the ashes of Vesuvius,
you/he/she has brought for turning on the rests of a city put in the grave. Of this
city we have indeed historical record, but even if all this way
records had from very since disappeared, we would gather a lot
information as to the nationality of the inhabitants, them
customs and manners, from a simple inspection of the relics
them. Everywhere on the earth, it put in the grave under of the feet
of the living one, or crumbling on the surface, it is the few relics
of a past that antedates far the relics in Pompeii. They is the
tests positive that some people occupied far the earth in
by the times.
Our object is to gather together the conclusions of the
scientific world as to primitive man. We desire to see how far
back in the geologic history of the globe we can find the evidence
of the existence of man, and we desire to learn his/her outskirtses and
the way of his/her life. There can be no more important field
what for us to know so of the past. Light the history of
primitive man, to walk a long time ago with him the earth in centuries with
him to undertake war on the enormous animals of a preceding epoch, to
recedes with him in front of implacable March of the ice of the
Glacial age, to look at his/her advance in culture, to investigate
if there are some runs of men what time they live what the I am
direct descendants of this primordial man.
