Against the background of the problems involved in the comparative
study of human society, the essays in this book show the
comparative ideal in practice, which combines elements from both
sociology and anthropology. In each essay, specific problems are
treated in a way which tests theory against evidence, to replace
assertion by demonstration. Topics covered include: * Incest and
Adultery * Double descent systems * Inheritance, social change and
the boundary problem * Marriage policy * The circulation of women
and children in northern Ghana * Indo-European kinship. First
published in 1969.
