Summary: "The Uncivilized Races of Men in All Countries of the World; Vol. 2 of 2" by Rev. J. G. Wood is a comprehensive anthropological publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the manners, customs, and various characteristics of uncivilized tribes primarily in the Americas and the islands between there and Asia, including parts of Australia and New Zealand. It aims to provide a detailed account of the social, mental, physical, and religious aspects of these tribes, often drawing comparisons and observational insights from extensive research. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the themes of medicine, burial practices, and cultural beliefs of Australian Indigenous people. It highlights the roles of 'bilbos' (native doctors) in treating ailments, which includes bizarre treatments such as bloodletting and the use of a crystal believed to have healing powers. Additionally, it discusses various mourning and burial rites, showcasing contrasting practices for men and women, and examining the societal perceptions surrounding death. The portrayal of these cultural customs offers a vivid picture of the intricate life and traditions of the Australian natives, setting the stage for deeper exploration into the rituals and beliefs of other tribes across the world in subsequent sections.
