Paperback. Condizione: 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.
