Excerpt from The Primitive Family in Its Origin and Development
The fitness of this method is explained by the special character of the subject. The sound-symbols which designate given Objects were for the most part quite arbitrarily chosen, and it is therefore improbable that two distinct peoples should ever have chosen the same symbol for the same Object. Whenever therefore, we find such agreement, we may almost certainly infer, either that one people has borrowed the word from the other, or that both peoples are derived from one and the same primitive stock. A careful analysis will establish the store of words which were used by this primitive stock. By means Of these words we learn what ideas were common to the race, or, in other words, what was their state Of civilization.

The Primitive Family in Its Origin and Development (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of the family structure and marriage customs from a comparative perspective, primarily through the lens of historical and anthropological study. The author argues that marriage, kinship, and the family are not static concepts but rather have evolved over time and varied across different cultures. Informed by cross-cultural analysis, this book challenges the idea that promiscuity was the norm in primitive societies and asserts that the concept of kinship was originally founded on the female line. The author maintains that the male line of descent is a later development, and traces the origins of the female line to the formation of more permanent group structures. This meticulously researched and thought-provoking book sheds light on the development of social institutions and provides valuable insights into the evolution of human relationships. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332434442_0
