Perhaps because in some ways it did resemble his own, that face was more preposterously nonhuman. The visage on the screen was sharply triangular with a small, sharply pointed chin and a jaw line running at an angle from a broad upper face. The skin was dark, covered largely with a soft and silky down, out of which hooked a curved and shining nose set between two large round eyes.
She was a Mentorian, and she was human, and Bart's eyes rested with comfort on her face; she, on the other hand, was looking up with anxiety and uneasy distrust. That's right I'm a Lhari, a nonhuman freak! "I seem to have missed my way." "What are you looking for, sir? The medical quarters are through here." "I'm looking for the elevator down to the crew exits."
Where usages like exogamy occur, or where there is reverence for an object, without belief in a definite, nontheistic relation between a human clan and a nonhuman object, we cannot recognize totemism proper; such usages must be treated as belonging to man's general attitude toward his nonhuman associates.
+440+. This brief account of the most important adjunct of totemism may serve to clear the way for the consideration of the totemic system. The nonhuman thing is regarded as a friend, and is respected and cared for accordingly. While the men of a group respect their ally, it, on its part, is supposed to refrain from injuring them, and even in some cases to aid them.
The belief in the potency of the ceremonies appears to come from belief in the vital identity of the two groups, human and nonhuman the latter is supposed to respond, in some occult way, to the expression of kinship involved in the official proceedings. In the published accounts there is no hint that the blood is supposed to have atoning power.
And oddly enough it also bothered him to occupy a post which earlier had served not a nonhuman such as Sssuri, whom he admired, but a humanoid whom he had been taught from childhood to avoid if not fear.
+916+. The words and actions of men and their normal peculiarities of bodily form have furnished comparatively few divinatory signs, the reason being, probably, that in early times animals and other nonhuman things arrested the attention of observers more forcibly, while in later times such acts and forms were more readily explained from natural conditions and laws.
Magical practice rests on a conception of man's relation to nature that is distinct from the conception of kinship between a human clan and a nonhuman species or individual object.
