The work explores the behaviors, cultures, and social structures of various primitive peoples, positioning itself within the burgeoning field of ethnology. Reclus seeks to counter contemporary prejudices regarding so-called "primitive" societies by documenting their customs, beliefs, and ways of life with respect and rigor. The opening of the book presents a preface outlining the principles guiding Reclus's study of ethnology and demography. He argues against the dismissive view of ancient and non-Western societies, suggesting that their practices and institutions hold invaluable lessons that reflect humanity's evolution. He emphasizes the continuity of human thought and institutions over time, stating that understanding primitive cultures is essential for a true grasp of human development. The preface sets the stage for subsequent explorations of specific groups, beginning with detailed examinations of the Hyperboreans and Esquimaux, highlighting their environmental adaptations and cultural practices.
