"The Uncivilized Races of Men in All Countries of the World; Vol. 1 of 2" by Rev. J. G. Wood is a comprehensive anthropological account written in the late 19th century. This work examines various uncivilized races across the globe, focusing particularly on their manners, customs, and the spectrum of their physical and social characteristics. Through detailed descriptions and illustrations, the book aims to present a systematic overview of these diverse cultures as they existed prior to the impact of modern civilization. At the start of the text, the author provides a preamble detailing the scope of the work and its intention to collate the scattered knowledge about uncivilized groups worldwide into a cohesive narrative. He emphasizes the variety found in these races, particularly in Africa, describing the complex socio-political structures and customs of tribes such as the Kaffirs, along with their physical traits and cultural practices. This initial portion also reflects on the significance of documenting these characteristics in a time when many indigenous cultures were facing rapid transformation due to external influences, setting the stage for a rich exploration of the unchanging aspects of these societies.
