Abstract
THESE are the musings and observations of one who has had long experience of life among primitive men and wild animals. While resident in the Gold Coast Colony the author not only devoted himself with well-known success to the study of the native languages, but was also a keen and thoughtful observer of the various tribes and their environment. He is, therefore, well equipped by first-hand knowledge for making suggestions as to the manner in which the earliest men may have gradually acquired the various habits and manifestations of intellect which distinguished, them from their ape-like ancestors.
