Annotation

Presents a picture of a destroyed civilization that manages to create a new, more primitive lifestyle that is initially violent becomes more settled over time. Science is rejected, and the human race slowly rebuilds a healthy hunting, fishing, and farming life structured around tribes. This is depicted as more in tune with our capacities than the civilization that it replaced. The revised volume is slightly more positive than the original.
