Severin writes about 10 different hunter-gatherer societies in the main from an historical point of view, which you might expect, as the word Vanishing in the title implies. His book is not based upon primary research, but rather his academic research. Throughout, where applicable, he does make reference to anthropologists who did gain primary research of the societies. Indeed Colin Turnbull who spent much time with the Pygmies of the Ituri forest writes an interesting forward.

The societies covered are: -
Aborigines of Australia
Pygmies of the Ituri forest in Zaire
Cunas of Panama
Various Polynesian societies, including Maori
Bushmen of South Africa
Eskimos, (now known as Inuits) of the Artic
Ainus of Japan
Melanisian of New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Fiji Islands, amongst others
Lapps of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia
Various Indian societies of Brazil
