Classic masterpieces have become timeless works due to their enduring charm; likewise, the works that scholars interpret these classics are also destined to become timeless works because of the brilliance of the classics and the unique intellectual allure of the scholars. This book is primarily aimed at readers from the intellectual class to interpret Morgan's classic masterpiece Ancient Society. Morgan strove to free social research from the dominance of the divine while adopting a stance of natural history. However, the relationship between his ideas and evolutionism is far more complex than we had previously imagined. His research and writings carry the color of the social sciences, but this hue does not carry a simple deterministic meaning. His ideas reflect, to some extent, the state of modern Western political life and religious reform, while the Iroquois Indians he respected served as a bridge for his intellectual time travel.
