Features: There are two completely opposing theories about the history of human marriage: one holds that human marriage has gone through several successive forms, with monogamy being the latest one so far (represented by Morgan and Engels); the other argues that humans have always practiced monogamy since the beginning (represented by Westermarck). The author, Westermarck, is a renowned Finnish sociologist and philosopher. This book is his breakthrough work, with the main purpose of arguing for the antiquity and eternity of the monogamous family.
