Hello everyone,

Was having a conversation today that sparked a memory of a story I read in High School in the mid 80's.

It was a short story of a Archeologist or Anthropologist who had discovered and was describing a culture.

It involved morning religious rituals that involved cleansing oneself with a sort of stick with what appeared to be pig hairs attached to it. He made it sound very relgious in nature. He went through an entire daily routine.

At the end of the reading, we discovered after much discussion that in fact, he was describing modern man. It was just told through a different perspective.

I can not remember the name or the author to save my life. Is anyone familiar with this ?

Thanks in advance.
