Here the fact we have to note is that, where the temperature which man’s vital farctions require ¢: be maititained with difficulty, s0- cial eyolution is not possible. There can be neither a sufficient surplus power in each in- dividual nor a sufficient number of individuals, Not only are the energies of the Esquimaux expended mainly in defending himself against loss of heat and in laying up stores by which he may continu bat his phystological process are greatly maxli- fledto the same end. Without Teel and, in deed, unable to burn within his snow hat any- thing more than an oil lamp, lest the wa'ls should meit, he has to keep up that bodily warmth which even his thi retain, by devouring vast quantities of blubber aud oil; and his digestive system, heavily taxed in providing the wherewith to meet excessive loss by radiation, supplies less matecia! for other vital purposes. This great physislogical cost of individual life, imdirec hecking the multiplication of individuals, arrest social evo- lution. A kindred retation of cause and effect is shown us in the southern hemisphere by the still 1 miserable Fuegians. Living nearly ancloti im a region ef continual storm of rain and 8: which their wretched dwellings of sticks gtase do not exclude, and having little food but fish and mollusks, these be culty in preserving the vital balance in face of therapid escape of heat that the surplus for individuals development is narrowly restrieted and, by consequence, the surplus for producing and Tearing new individuals. Hence the nam- bers remain,too smal! for exhibiting anything beyond incipient social existence. ‘Tbrovgh, in sume tropieal regions, an oppo- site extreme of temperature so tar impedes the Vital actions as to umpede social developmen Yet hindrance from this cause seems exception al ard relatively unimportant.
