Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State: In the Light of the Researches of Lewis H. Morgan; With an Appendix, a Newly Discovered Case of Group Marriage (1892)
Morgan''s great merit lies in having discovered and reconstructed this prehistoric foundation of our written history in its main features, and in having found in the groups based on sex of the North American In dians the key to the most important, hitherto insoluble, riddles of the earliest Greek, Roman and German history. His book, however, was not the work of one day. He grappled with his material for nearly forty years until be completely mastered it. That is why his book is one of the few epoch-making works of our time.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of human society, tracing the evolution of family structures from prehistoric times to the rise of civilization. Drawing upon extensive research and historical analysis, the author challenges traditional assumptions about the family and sheds light on the complex social dynamics that shaped our past. The author argues that the family has not been a static institution but has undergone significant transformations over time. Beginning with an exploration of early forms of group marriage, the book examines the transition to monogamy and the emergence of the patriarchal family. By comparing kinship systems across different cultures, the author uncovers evidence of a matriarchal past, where descent was traced through the female line. This book offers a profound critique of modern society, highlighting the ways in which the family system has been influenced by the development of private property and class antagonisms. The author's insights into the historical roots of our social structures provide a deeper understanding of the challenges and inequalities we face today. Ultimately, this book invites us to reconsider the foundations of our society and to envision a future where social organization is based on principles of equality and cooperation.
