"
I
am
not
an
advocate
for frequent
changes
in
laws
and
cons,titutions,
but
laws
and institutions must go
hand
lin
hand
with the
progr·ess of the
human
mind.
As
that
becomes
more
developed!:
more enlightened, as
new
discoveries
are
made,
new

and
mann.ers and opirtions
change,
with
the
th
change
of circumstances; institutions, must
advance also
to
ke·ep
pace with the
times. We might as
well
require a

INTRODUCTION
The
essence of
these
famous
words
have
reverberated.
tluough-
out
the
passage
of
time)
yet
man
seems
loath
or
unable
to
cast
off
t
he
tentacles
of
habit
which
he
builds
over
the
centuries
and
is
more
inclined to
try

o wedge
or
fit
advancing
knowledge,
newly
discovered
truth,
into
his
set
form
pattern of
cherished
ideal
or
outmoded tradition.
The
intent
of
this
book
is
to
bring
a
fuller
comprehension,
a more
ooncise
definition of
-the
evolutionary
n
ecessity
of
readjustment,
by
an
introd
uction
to
a
race
of
people
whose
origins,
although
foreign
to
our
solar
system, are
not
unlike
us
in
physical
appearance
and who,
from
their
own
tiny
niche
of
this
infmite
whole,
have
established a
certain truer
conf
ormity to
these
ideals .
The
latter
part
of their
history, covering
a
time span of
some
20,000
years,
has
at times,
been fraught
with
death., disaster

But
this
frustration
of adversity, compiled
e
through the
diversification
in
a
sequence
of
natural

and the
a
rebuff of
fellow
humans:,
did
not undermine
the
funda:menta.ll
concepts
of
a
philosophy
based
on
the
broad
footing
of
knowledge
and
formulated
under
a
premise
that

combining
love,
brot herhood and
compassion.
