To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A condition of society is inconceivable in which the multiplication of human beings and their support should have no connection. If private property and private marital rights are associated, so are communal property and community of wives. If the study of CHRISTIANITY AND MARRIAGE. I 33 primitive peoples reveals communal property, it also reveals a corresponding" type of the family. Anthro- pologists of the evolutionist school, such as Bachofen, McLennan, Spencer, Lubbock, and Giraud-Teulon at...tempt to trace the evolution of the family from a primitive form in which sexual unions were tempo- rary and promiscuous, as they are in the lower animals. 7 Without adducing their arguments, or for the present criticizing their results, I simply summar- ize their theory. They recognize four stages of pro- gression : (1) Promiscuity, in which state men and women associate in herds, like other gregarious ani- mals ; (2) Polyandry, the union of one woman with many men, whose children trace their descent from their mother and are supported by the group, con- stituting the "maternal family;" (3) Polygyny, the union of one man with several women, who are under his perpetual authority, and whose children take his name, constituting the "paternal family;" and finally, (4) Monogamy, the union of one man and one woman for life.
