Features: Morgan's great achievement lies in discovering and restoring the prehistoric foundation of our written history in its main characteristics, and finding the key to ancient Greek, Roman, and German history in North American Indian bloodline groups, which were extremely important and yet unresolved until today. — Engels
Morgan's Ancient Society is a landmark work in the fields of history and sociology. In this book, Morgan builds upon the kinship system and family life of American Indians, extending his analysis to the entire early human clan system and social life. Photographically, he presents the existence of early humans in the primordial chaos, with rich and detailed cases that vividly recreate the political organization, marital and family relationships, and changes in property inheritance of primitive humans, clarifying the ignorant understanding of ancient times. Mr. Yang Dongchen, one of the eight great Chinese historians of the 1930s and 1940s, renders this rigorous academic monograph in a fluent and lively translation, making it engaging and far from dull.
