...multiplicity of the human creation. Kierkegaarde, the great Dane, the greatest of the Danes, wrote in his journal in 1844 that he had an anthropologist tell him that $4 billion men and women were living or had lived and died, men and women above the level of the aborigine.

This time, accompanied by his bride of five days, Anthropologist Fairservis revisited the same mysterious area of southwest Afghanistan. Near the Bolan Pass, the expedition, came across its first big find: 36 sites which yielded pottery of a hitherto unknown type. On the bottom of many of the pieces were mysterious little signs, some 30 different ones, that look as if they might be the beginnings of an alphabet. Some of the sites, Fairservis...
