AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document is a study of the Todas written by a linguist who is primarily interested in whatever changes may have taken place between the time of W. H. R. Rivers study (1902) and the time of this survey (1937). The author only discusses those few cultural areas where changes were found (religion, marriage, economic system, land use, population figures, intertribal relations, the influence of the bazaar), concluding that most of these have been merely superficial additions. As a whole, he found the Todas in very much the same state as Rivers did and changes due to outside influences were found to be extremely slight.
