Excerpt from Descriptive Ethnology
That these parts are my starting point means little perhaps nothing. At any rate it does not mean that I hold them to be the centre of our civilization. Still less does it imply that they are the cradle of the human race. NO hypothesis attaches to them. I must simply begin somewhere.

I Follow the Horatian rule, and plunge, at once, in medias res. I am on the Indus; but not on the Indian portion of it. I am on the Himalayas, but not on their southern side. I am on the north-western ranges; with Tartary on the north, Bokhara on the west, and Hindostan on the south. I am in a neighbourhood where three great religions meet; Mahometanism, Buddhism, Brahminism. I must begin somewhere; and here is my beginning.
That these parts are my starting point means little; perhaps nothing. At any rate it does not mean that I hold them to be the centre of our civilization. Still less does it imply that they are the cradle of the human race. No hypothesis attaches to them. I must simply begin somewhere.
But why begin here? If I had begun elsewhere the same question might have been asked; and the same answer would be given. My object is to describe. If a certain amount of classification accompany the description, well and good.
