Lewis Henry Morgan's Comparisons: Reassessing Terminology, Anarchy and Worldview in Indigenous Societies of America, Australia and Highland Middle India
Georg Pfeffer
Georg Pfeffer re-examines the work of Lewis Henry Morgan on relationship terminologies, societal forms, and ideas of property and the relationship between these three domains. He concludes that reciprocal affinal relations determine most `classificatory' terminologies and regulate many non-state societies, their property notions, and their rituals.
