The goal of this book is to investigate why there are two distinct
notions of liability in the legal and ethical systems of different
societies; the relationship between two sets of criteria of
liability and the individual's evolution from childhood
adolescence. The specific ways in which different societies cope
with the transition from childhood to adolescence are important
because a sense of responsibility, consonant with the goals of the
society and survival of family and culture, is implanted in the
growing child. The ways in which incest taboos are taught
constitute one of the crucial modes by which a sense of
responsibility is implanted within an individual during his
transition from childhood to adolescence. The author places most of
his focus on social systems, the transition from childhood to
adolescence. Theoretical concerns are with the ways in which human
biology and human social structures impact each other. The fact
that wide variations do exist among societies in connection with
certain types of incest taboos does not lead inevitably to the
conclusion that there is no biological basis for the incest taboo.
The immediate impression of variability can be misleading; extreme
differences between cultures in the same institutional realm, as
between individuals, often reveals remarkable regularity and
consistency. These regularities are seen in the cultural phenomena;
the assumption that biology and culture are bound up in their
manifestations is fundamental in understanding their nature
