In the dawn of civilization there were no hard and fast lines among the colors of the human race, but it is certain that the darker groups matured more quickly and took the lead. Milleniums before the wolf suckled Romulus, many centuries before Homer sung, the black and brown and yellowish peoples ruled in Egypt, overran the civilized and known world, and brought and wrought the usual changes of civilization before Greece and Rome were even names in the earth.
