Primitive Religion

Dr. Lowrie first describes the beliefs codes and practices of a variety of primitive religions. He then gives a critical survey of their beliefs including their psychological and historical aspects. He presents a wealth of strange and fascinating information--details like the self-mutilation of devotees extraordinary human sacrifices perpetrated out of fear of sorcery and naive superstitions. Here is a scientific masterpiece for both layman and student complete and unabridged--sanctioned by frequent quotation in anthropological handbooks and anthologies.
