Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores a variety of historical, cultural, and spiritual themes to reveal the universal patterns of social and sexual relations in the history of human marriage. The author argues that many different marriage and courtship customs that appear very different on the surface are in fact driven by the same underlying psychological causes. The book draws upon anthropological research from a wide range of cultures to demonstrate how the conception of danger shapes human relations, and how this has influenced the development of religious and cultural practices surrounding marriage. The author uses data from marriage ceremonies and systems to challenge existing theories of primitive promiscuity and the matriarchate, suggesting instead that marriage systems are founded on our earliest religious and cultural beliefs.
