"The Uncivilized Races of Men in All Countries of the World; Vol. 1 of 2" by J. G. Wood is an exploration into the lives and habits of different uncivilized groups around the world. The book tries to show how these societies live, focusing on their unique habits, physical traits, social interactions, and societal structures. The story contains detailed information and images that try to paint a clear picture of these groups before they experienced big changes from the outside world. Early on, the author shares the purpose of the book, which is to bring together different pieces of knowledge about these groups into one place; the story begins by describing the variety of these uncivilized races, looking closely at African tribes such as the Kaffirs and their complex social and cultural systems. The book highlights the importance of recording these details at a time when many of these groups were quickly changing because of outside influences, with the goal of showing the lasting qualities of these societies.
