<jats:p>This number of Human Organization was planned as a contribution to the American discovery of Africa. To be sure, the "new-found" trails are apt to be covered with macadam and Africa is no Dark Continent to the social sciences. It has, in fact, long been the focus of some of the most sophisticated anthropological study. Further, it is one of the few parts of the world in which administrative recognition of the importance of such study led to the use of government anthropologists. The only novelty in these deep-rooted interests in Africa lies in the fact that Americans have now turned their attention to the work in which European scholars have been so long engaged.</jats:p>
