The Red Man's Continent-A Chronicle of Aboriginal America is a classic Native American history text by Ellsworth Huntington. In writing this book of Native American history the author has aimed first to present in readable form the main facts about the geographical environment of American history. Many important facts have been omitted or have been touched upon only lightly because they are generally familiar. On the other hand, special stress has been laid on certain broad phases of geography which are comparatively unfamiliar. One of these is the similarity of form between the Old World and the New, and between North and South America; another is the distribution of indigenous types of vegetation in North America; and a third is the relation of climate to health and energy. In addition to these subjects, the influence of geographical conditions upon the life of the primitive Indians has been emphasized.

"The Red Man's Continent," by Ellsworth Huntington, is a thought-provoking overview of North and South America's indigenous peoples, providing light about their civilizations, cultures, and interactions with the natural environment. The work of literature digs into the different communities and rich histories that flourished across the continents long before European contact. Ellsworth Huntington, an anthropologist and geographer, dives into the complicated tapestry of Native American cultures and their unique ties with the natural world. He gives a thorough understanding of indigenous societies' rituals, beliefs, and social systems through meticulous research and cultural sensitivity.

1925. Why did such meteoric intellectual brilliancy occur in Greece? Why are such wonderful Hindu ruins located in Cambodia in Indo-China? What has a high type of culture been able to persist for a thousand years in stormy Iceland? And why do we see in China the curious anomaly of a progressive South and a conservative North? After years of search, Mr. Huntington believes that at least a partial explanation is found in natural selection arising most frequently under the stress of over-population and migration. The principle involved is so simple and obvious that it seems almost incredible that it has been so largely ignored by students of geography, history and sociology. This work is the result of his research.
