Description

An exploration of the natural history of evil.

First Sentence

The fact is that primitive man imagined he could transfer life from one thing to another, that he could, for example, take the spirit-power that resided in the scalp on an enemy and, by proper dancing and chanties, transfer that life from its former owner to the new one.
