"Ancient Society, or Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, Through Barbarism to Civilization" is a significant contribution to studies of cultural anthropology. Its author, Lewis Henry Morgan, was an American statesman, anthropologist and critic of materialism. "Ancient Society" develops Morgan's theory of the three stages of human progress, which he theorizes progressed from Savagery through Barbarism to Civilization. Morgan's goal was to trace the advance of human development from different branches of the human family. He uses Greek, Roman and Native American family structure to explain the evolution of family. Morgan conceived of human development as units called ethna, which are similar to inventions, discoveries and domestic institutions. In his book, he traces ethna beginning at subsistence living, then to establishment of government, development of language, and the various forms of family. The final ethna are religion, house and architecture, and property. Morgan was a critic of the Three-Stage theories of history, and the book discusses why he believed that classifying different eras into bronze, stone, etc. was inadequate as a measure of human progress. Morgan was America's most influential social critic. His work was cited by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Charles Darwin, and Sigmund Freud. "Ancient Society, or Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, Through Barbarism to Civilization" is a compelling book for intellectual readers and those interested in a new way of looking at human development.

Reading this book takes you into deep considerations of who you are. Lewis Henry Morgan dives into the development of society in prehistoric times. His controversial proposition is that the earliest human domestic institution was the matrilineal clan, not the patriarchal family. In his book, Morgan rejects the Ages of Stone, Bronze, and Iron, as being insufficient characterizations of progress and for overlapping, and instead suggested that a society has a life like that of an individual and divided it into three main stages: Savagery, Barbarism, and Civilization, with three subdivisions for each. He demonstrates the first distinction of man from other animals, and reveals the origin of language, beginning as gestures, then evolving into monosyllabic, and then polysyllabic vocalizations. Morgan is the only American social theorist to be cited by such diverse scholars as Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, and Sigmund Freud in their works. Understand his fundamental thoughts on social evolution and learn why this book is banned in many universities worldwide! "There exists a definitive book on the origins of society, as definitive as Darwin's book for biology, and it is, naturally, Morgan's Ancient Society." Friedrich Engels

Renowned anthropologist Lewis H. Morgan examines the origins and history of humanity, sharing abundant insights on the conditions of primitive society. Of particular interest to Morgan is the gradual process by which humans organized into civil societies. Examining a range of contrasting civilizations, from the Mayans to the Iroquois to the Romans, the author attempts to arrive at commonalities in how these peoples went from a primitive and barbaric early existence to a relatively civilized height, whereupon their greatest achievements left their mark. For the author, human civilization progressed in three broad stages - savagery, wherein hunter-gatherer behaviors, crude language and inbreeding is prevalent; barbarism, wherein the first centralized settlements and signs of organizational military and political hierarchy appear; and civilization, where humans are at their most organized and capable of great advances in science, wealth, culture and the general well-being of the population. Although many of Morgan's points are speculative and based purely off of sources as diverse and disparate as Christian missionary accounts of tribes and histories dating to antiquity, his is the among the first works of anthropology which seek to boldly tackle the questions of human history. Though many ideas herein have been disproven or discredited, they served as the foundation upon which modern-day anthropology as a formal discipline supported by sound evidence was built.
