Página 62 - Although the family is typically a social group of great cohesiveness, consisting of a man and his wife or wives, and their children, it is often a wider group, containing, perhaps, husbands and wives of the children, as well as the children of these, and other relatives as well. The term "joint family" has been used when such family-groups are of normal occurrence in a society.
Página 190 - Those who set out with the evolutionary dogma that every social condition now found in civilization must have developed from some condition far removed from it through a series of transitional stages, will consistently embrace the hypothesis that the property sense so highly developed with us was wholly or largely wanting in primitive society, that it must have evolved from its direct antithesis, communism in goods of every kind.
