The book explores the origins and development of the family unit in human societies, focusing on primitive societies and their social structures.

He also discusses the impact of economic, political, and cultural factors on the development of the family unit. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the social and cultural history of the family, drawing on a wide range of anthropological and historical sources. It is an important contribution to the study of human societies and their social structures, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
