Here, in absorbing detail, are the findings of such scholars as Henry Schoolcraft, who unravelled the mysteries of kinship among American Indians; Edward Westermarck, who studied gorillas to seek the origins of monogamy; Sir James Frazer, who dealt with the meaning of ritual and symbolism; Franz Boas, who explored the nature of totem and taboo; Bronislaw Malinowski, who investigated the sexual life of savages; and many other whose adventurous study has added to man’s knowledge of social man.

Book Description
According to evolutionists we are from the ape family of animals. They look only on the physical plane. On the mental and intellectual plane, there is a vast difference that evolutionists can't explain. We are vastly superior in knowledge, understanding, insight, and capabilities. And when it comes to spiritual matters, there is no comparison! What are we? Where are we from? Why were we created? What purpose does God have in mind? There is a fantastic future that God has prepared for us! It is beyond the wildest dream of the average religious person! Learn about your incredible potential! Humans were designed with the potential of becoming like the righteous Angels. The Bible describes the history of some Godly individuals that did reach their full potential. But there are also fallen angels that would like to deceive us and take our salvation away. How can we know? There are several indications and tests that we should be aware of. Be careful!

Book Description
“An authentic cry of American innocence . . . The author seizes the reader with a Southern gift for storytelling and never lets go.”—Time Magazine It is the mid-1950s in Quarrytown, Georgia. In the slum known as the Ape Yard, hope’s last refuge is a boardinghouse where a handful of residents dream of a better life. Earl Whitaker, who is white, and Tio Grant, who is black, are both teenagers, both orphans, and best friends. In the same house live two of the most important adults in the boys’ lives: Em Jojohn, the gigantic Lumbee Indian handyman, is notorious for his binges, his rat-catching prowess, and his mysterious departures from town. Jayell Crooms, a gifted but rebellious architect, is stuck in a loveless marriage to a conventional woman intent on climbing the social ladder. Crooms’s vision of a new Ape Yard, rebuilt by its own residents, unites the four—and puts them on a collision course with a small-town Machiavelli who rules the community like a feudal lord. Jeff Fields’s exuberantly defined characters and his firmly rooted sense of place have earned A Cry of Angels an intensely loyal following. Its republication, more than three decades since it first appeared, is cause for celebration. “A humdinger . . . even better than To Kill a Mockingbird . . . funny, touching, and gripping.”—Chicago Daily News “Heartwarming . . . We find ourselves wondering why delightful novels like this aren’t written anymore, and grateful that this one has come along to fill the void.”—The New York Times “A flooded-with-life novel with a story to tell and characters to be cherished.”—Boston Sunday Globe

Book Description
What are we? Have we evolved from apes, as the Paleontologists would have us believe? Or are we created by the Creator to potentially share Angel's status and existence? What does the Bible say? This book examines various facts, asks profound questions, and shows what the sacred scriptures say about us and our incredible potential! Chapter 1 asks profound questions and shows unresolved issues with the atheist theory that we are mere apes. Chapter 2 deals with our physical, spiritual, and human beginnings. Chapter 3 delves deeper into the book of Genesis. Chapter 4 discusses our early development. It shows how some descended to animal behavior while others reached out to their Angelic potential. Chapter 5 shows how we can draw closer to our Creator. Chapter 6 gets closer to the real potential of humankind when Christ returns and begins the Seventh Millenium. Chapter 7 provides clear guidance for correct understanding. It helps to avoid clear misunderstandings that could seriously hinder our development.
