Synopsis
Excerpt from Social Structure
The research technique upon which the volume depends, and without which it would not have been undertaken, is that of the cross-cultural Survey. Initiated in 1937 as part of the integrated program of research in the social sciences conducted by the Institute of Human Relations at Yale University, the cross-cultural Survey has built up a complete file of geographical, social, and cultural information, extracted in full from the sources and classified by sub ject, on some 150 human societies, historical and contemporary as well as primitive. From these files it is possible to secure practically all the existing information on particular topics in any of the societies covered in an insignificant fraction of the time required for com parable library research.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental building block of human society: the family. The author delves into the universal presence of the nuclear family, examining its structure and the various functions it serves across cultures. Drawing upon extensive cross-cultural research, the author traces the history of family structures and how they have evolved. The book explores the vital roles of sex, economics, reproduction, and education within the family unit, and examines how these forces interact to shape its development. The author further examines the concept of incest taboos and their pervasive presence across cultures, exploring their impact on kinship structures and the formation of societal rules of descent. The book reveals the intricate interplay between human biology, cultural norms, and social behavior in shaping the institution of the family.
