Title: Reise in die Aequinoctial-Gegenden des neuen Continents. Band 2.
Summary: "Reise in die Aequinoctial-Gegenden des neuen Continents. Band 2." by Alexander von Humboldt is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work is part of Humboldt's extensive travels and observations in South America, focusing particularly on the diversity of its cultures, languages, and natural phenomena. The book delves into the indigenous peoples of the region, examining their languages, customs, and the impacts of colonization on their societies. The opening of this volume introduces the Chaymas, an indigenous group living in the mountainous areas of present-day Venezuela. Humboldt reflects on the physical characteristics of the Chaymas, their social structures, agricultural practices, and the effects of missionary activity on their culture and language. He contrasts their way of life with other indigenous groups and provides a detailed description of their customs, clothing, and societal norms, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their linguistic and cultural identity throughout the remainder of the volume.
