Ancient Society Or, Researches In The Lines Of Human Progress From Savagery, Through Barbarism To Civilization - Lewis Henry Morgan - Bog

Ancient Society is a scholarly work by Lewis Henry Morgan, which explores the history of human society and the evolution of civilization. The book is divided into three parts, each of which examines a different stage in the development of human society: savagery, barbarism, and civilization.In the first section, Morgan investigates the earliest forms of human society, including the hunting and gathering societies of the Paleolithic era. He explores the social structures, customs, and beliefs of these societies and shows how they gradually evolved over time.The second section focuses on the rise of agriculture and the emergence of more complex societies during the Neolithic era. Morgan examines the development of social classes, the rise of cities, and the emergence of early forms of government and religion.The final section of the book looks at the development of modern civilization and the impact of industrialization on human society. Morgan discusses the role of technology in shaping modern society, as well as the social, political, and economic changes that have occurred since the Industrial Revolution.Throughout the book, Morgan draws on a wide range of sources, including archaeological evidence, historical records, and ethnographic studies. He provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the evolution of human society, and his work has had a profound influence on the study of anthropology and sociology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
