First published in 1958, From Ape to Angel is a popular history of
social anthropology which sketches the extraordinary world of
ethical, religious and marital customs revealed by the men and
women who travelled to remote places to live among and observe
primitive people. Here, in absorbing detail, are the findings of
such scholars as Henry Schoolcraft, who unravelled the mysteries of
kinship among American Indians; Edward Westermarck, who studied
gorillas to seek the origins of monogamy; Sir James Frazer, who
dealt with the meaning of ritual and symbolism; Franz Boas, who
explored the nature of totem and taboo; Bronislaw Malinowski, who
investigated the sexual life of savages; and many other whose
adventurous study has added to man’s knowledge of social man.
This book will be of interest to students of anthropology, history
and sociology.
