Echoes of The Old Darkland: Themes from the African Eden by Charles Finch

Echoes of the Darkland is the first original book by Dr. Charles S. Finch III in which the author attempts to trace the origin an evolution of humanity, its culture, myths, and religion in Africa in light of modern findings. Dr. Finch has been engaged in private research into African antiquities, comparative myth and religion, and anthropology since 1971 and this book represents a kind of overview of that 20 year period of study. Such a study was necessarily private because of the use of special data and the methods handling disparate materials demonstrated in this book are seldom, if ever, to be encountered in the ordinary academic setting.
