Beyond it, isolated from it, and quite unimportant, is something called ‘The Old Days’—a small, comic jungle in which highwaymen, Queen Elizabeth, knights-in-armour etc. wander about. Then (strangest of all) beyond The Old Days comes a picture of ‘Primitive Man’. He is ‘Science’, not ‘history’, and is therefore felt to be much more real than The Old Days. In other words, the Pre-historic is much more believed in than the Historic.
