Author: [Finland] Westermarck
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2003-02-01
Features: There are two completely opposing theories about the history of human marriage: one holds that human marriage has existed in several successive forms, and monogamy is the latest one so far (representing figures like Morgan and Engels); the other argues that humans have practiced monogamy from the beginning (represented by Westermarck). Westermarck is a renowned Finnish sociologist and philosopher, and this book is his seminal work, focusing on proving the antiquity and enduring nature of the monogamous family.
