Although we are left without record of prehistoric structures in wood or other perishable materials, we can still deduce, from the constructions of the present-day aboriginal races what the forms and purpose of habitation were in these materials. Architecture is, in fact, the token and talisman of the progress and decline of man, and from the surviving architectural remains can be roughly classified the great developments of civilisation into those of the Egyptians, Babylonians, Chinese, Aztecs, Greek and Roman and European.
