Sobre este artículo
New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc. Book. Good. Hardcover. Book Club Edition. 1968, xx, 332pp, index, illustrated, extensive bibliography. A ding at the top edge of the front cover, else G+ in G dj. From the dj: The author uses the contrasting customs of North American Indian tribes to explain the evolution of man as a social being - his relationships with his family and kin groups, his religions and his political institutions. Some of the questions he explores: Why are some people considered warlike and others peaceful; Why is incest a universal taboo; What is the relation between primitive puberty rites and such modern religious rituals as Christian Confirmation or Jewish Bar Mitzvah; Why is our Memorial Day observance really a cult of the dead; How have some societies made it socially acceptable to rebel; and many others..
