THE HAPPY PEOPLE
AFRICAN TRIBES TRAVELLER’S EXPERIENCES “Remote and uncontaminated races arc the world’s happiest people,” said Mr. H. W. Seton-Karr, the traveller, in a lecture to the British Association at Leeds. He continued: “Those of us who have travelled much in Africa will have observed the tine physical types of some of the wild tribes who are untouched —at least up to recent times —by so-called civilisation. Natural laws and natural conditions have eliminated the weak and unfit, and only the best have survived to reproduce their race. Our average town dwellers compare unl'a \ curably with them in physique. "My experience among remote and uneontaminated races leads me to think that they are better able to live happily in communities than we are. They are therefore more civilised than we are. They have the fewest wants and judged by a newspaper ♦jrrize definition of happiness, are the •Jisyipiest oX life world's. inhahUajUs.’’
