Synopsis
This book delves into the enigmatic world of the Toda tribe, an isolated and primitive people residing on the Nilagiri Mountains of India. The author, a British phrenologist, spent years studying the Toda's customs, beliefs, and physical characteristics. Through detailed observations and analysis of their skull shapes, the author unravels the tribe's origins and cultural evolution, tracing their history from a nomadic existence to their current pastoral lifestyle. The book offers a unique perspective on the Toda's social and religious practices, including their peculiar marriage customs, elaborate funeral rites, and belief in a divine cattle-bell. By examining the interconnections between the Toda's physical attributes and their cultural practices, the author provides valuable insights into the development of human behavior and the origins of early religious concepts.
