Primitive Society by Robert H. Lowie
An early twentieth-century anthropological survey that critiques unilineal evolution and champions historical particularism, drawing on wide-ranging ethnographies to analyze kinship, marriage, clan systems, totemism, law, property, political organization, economy, and religion in small-scale societies. It underscores the complexity and diversity of institutions often labeled “primitive,” challenging simplistic hierarchies and sweeping generalizations.
