To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But as the women and chil- dren of a single family group, so created, would, in the absence of the husband and father on hunting trips, be altogether incapable of warding off any solitary male who chanced their way, or, indeed, of protecting themselves from other dangers, it seems probable that the cleavage of the family from the horde was followed almost imme- diately by the development of tribal organization. Each tribal group included a number of males bound together by blood kinship, domina...ted by the eldest ; and practically all savage tribes today are patriarchal associations. That descent seems to be traced, often, on the matriarchal side, in existing savage societies, only indicates, as Maine x suggests, "that circumstances long prevented savage men from discovering and recognizing paternity, which is a matter of inference, as opposed to maternity, which is a matter of observation. " In the tribe the strongest or wisest male rules. Within the group actual or nominal kinship is the basis of tolerance, goodwill, and co-opera- tion; but when members of two different patriarchal groups meet it is as foes, commonly indeed, as rival can- nibal hunters; for those who succumb in intertribal wars become the quarry and meal of the victors.
