Studies in Ancient History (Classic Reprint): The Second Series Comprising an Inquiry Into the Origin of Exogamy - Couverture souple
Synopsis
How kinship and law shaped ancient societies across continents A clear, approachable look at how exogamy, clan ties, and totemism governed marriage and social life in early civilizations. This study uses examples from North America and Australia to explain why families, tribes, and chiefs enforced rules about who could marry whom.
This edition traces the evolution of kinship systems—from female-centered networks to male-traced lineages—and shows how marriage laws helped bind or separate groups. It describes the roles of chiefs, the meaning of totems, and the ways communities balanced revenge, alliance, and reunion after conflicts. Throughout, the author ties traditions to social structures, offering a grounded view of how law and custom together built social unity.
- How totemic clans and kinship shape marriage prohibitions and alliances.
- Case studies of tribes and their shifting family structures and leadership.
- Explanations of how exogamy functions to unite people across villages and nations.
- Discussion of how traditions reflect broader social and political organization.
Ideal for readers of anthropology and history who want a careful, evidence-based look at how ancient peoples organized themselves around kin, marriage, and community.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and development of social structures in diverse human societies, primarily through the lens of exogamy, the practice of marrying outside one's social group. Drawing on evidence from ancient literature, historical records, and observations of contemporary societies, the author traces the evolution of marriage customs, kinship systems, and inheritance laws. The work explores how inequalities in cultural development have shaped these practices and examines the influence of factors such as warfare, female infanticide, and totemism on the formation of social norms. This comprehensive study offers a nuanced understanding of early human societies, providing valuable insights into the origins of our social institutions and customs.
