Excerpt from The Origins of Invention: A Study of Industry Among Primitive PeoplesFrom the point of view here assumed, every change in human activity, made designedly and systematically, appears to be an invention. Not only mechanical devices, whose working models might have been stored in the vaults of prehistoric patent offices and the relics of which fill our museums, were inventions; but the processes of life, language, fine art, Social structures and functions, philo sophies, formulated creeds and cults, - all these involve over and over again the same activities of mind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
