The Development Of Marriage And Kinship is a historical and anthropological study of the evolution of marriage and kinship systems across different cultures and societies. Written by C. Staniland Wake, this book explores the various forms of marriage and kinship that have existed throughout human history, from the earliest hunter-gatherer societies to modern industrialized nations. The book examines the social, economic, and cultural factors that have shaped the development of marriage and kinship, including the role of gender, religion, and politics. It also delves into the different types of marriage and kinship systems, such as monogamy, polygamy, matrilineal and patrilineal descent, and the ways in which they have evolved over time. Throughout the book, Wake provides detailed examples and case studies from various cultures and societies, including the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Chinese, and the indigenous peoples of North America. Overall, The Development Of Marriage And Kinship is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human society. It is an essential read for anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, or the history of human relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
