Renowned anthropologist Lewis H. Morgan examines the origins and
history of humanity, sharing abundant insights on the conditions of
primitive society. Of particular interest to Morgan is the gradual
process by which humans organized into civil societies. Examining a
range of contrasting civilizations, from the Mayans to the Iroquois
to the Romans, the author attempts to arrive at commonalities in
how these peoples went from a primitive and barbaric early
existence to a relatively civilized height, whereupon their
greatest achievements left their mark. For the author, human
civilization progressed in three broad stages - savagery, wherein
hunter-gatherer behaviors, crude language and inbreeding is
prevalent; barbarism, wherein the first centralized settlements and
signs of organizational military and political hierarchy appear;
and civilization, where humans are at their most organized and
capable of great advances in science, wealth, culture and the
general well-being of the population.
