Totemism and Exogamy: A Treatise on Certain Early Forms of Superstition and Society V4 is a comprehensive study of the primitive beliefs and customs of societies that existed in the early stages of human civilization. Written by James G. Frazer, a renowned anthropologist and folklorist, the book delves into the complex phenomenon of totemism, which involves the worship of animals or plants as sacred symbols of a particular clan or tribe. The book explores the origins of totemism, its various forms and manifestations, and its role in shaping early societies. It also examines the practice of exogamy, which refers to the custom of marrying outside one's own tribe or clan. The author argues that totemism and exogamy are closely related and that they both played a crucial role in the development of early human societies.The book is divided into four volumes, each of which covers a different aspect of totemism and exogamy. Volume 4 focuses on the social and political organization of primitive societies, and how totemism and exogamy influenced these structures. The author also discusses the role of magic and religion in early societies, and how they were intertwined with totemism and exogamy.Overall, Totemism and Exogamy: A Treatise on Certain Early Forms of Superstition and Society V4 is an important work in the field of anthropology and provides valuable insights into the cultural and social practices of early human societies.In Four Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
