A lecture delivered before the Society on 10th December, 1941, at 74 Grosvenor Street, W.1; Professor W. Perceval Yetts in the chair.
'...the Swastika, like the female idols, occurs in all the groups of the great "Southern Sphere," stretching through Eurasia during the Later Stone Age, whilst it was originally quite unknown outside it....In China the fusion of ideas from these two spheres--the northern and the southern [cultures]--during the Chou period or earlier seems to have laid the foundation for the later elaborated Yin-Yang conception.'
