2-2 Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human
Family 1871 pp.xii, pp.558
● All the forms thus far discovered resolve themselves, in a comprehensive
sense, into two, the descriptive and classificatory, which are
the reverse of each other in their fundamental conceptions(vi).
● A comparison of these systems, and a careful study of the slight
but clearly marked changes through which they have passed, have
led, most unexpectedly, to the recovery, conjecturally at least,
of the great series or sequence of customs and institutions which
mark the pathway of manユs progress through the ages of Barbarism;
and by means of which he raised himself from a state of promiscuous
intercourse to final civilizationノ.Indeed, it seems probable that
the progress of mankind was greater in degree, and in the extent
of its range, in the age of barbarism than in the ages of civilization
(vi-vii).
● 目次の構成
part 1 Descriptive System of Relationship Aryan, Semitic, and
Uralian Families.
part 2 Classificatory System of Relationship, Ganowanian Family.
part 3 Classificatory System of Relationship, Turanian and Malayan
Families.
● Introduction IroquoisとOjibwa
Every term of relationship (of the Ojibwa Indians)was radically
different from the corresponding term in the Iroquois; but the
classification kindred was the same(3).
● In the system of relationship of the Aryan, Semitic, and Uralian
families, the collateral lines are maintained distinct and perpetually
divergent from the lineal, which results, theoretically as well
as practically, in a dispersion of the blood.... This divergence
is one of the characteristics of the descriptive system. On the
contrary, in that of the Turanian, American Indian, and Malayan
families, the several collateral lines, near and remote, are finally
brought into, and merged in the lineal line, thus theoretically,
if not practically, preventing a dispersion of the blood.... This
mergence is, in like manner, one of the characteristics of the
classificatory system (13).
● While the existence of two radically distinct forms appears
to separate the human family, so far as it is represented in the
tables, into two great divisions, the Indo-European and the Indo-American,
the same testimony seems to draw closer together the several families
of which these divisions are composed, without forbidding the
supposition that a common point of departure between the two may
yet be discovered. If the evidence deposited in these systems
of relationship tends, in reality, to consolidate the families
named into two great divisions, it is a tendency in the direction
of unity of origin of no inconsiderable importance(13).
● After the several forms of consanguinity and affinity, which
now prevail in the different families of mankind, have been presented
and discussed, the important question will present itself, how
far these forms become changed with the progressive changes of
society(13).
● There is one powerful motive which might, under certain circumstances,
tends to the overthrow of the classificatory form and the substitution
of the descriptive, but it would arise after the attainment of
civilization (14). This is the inheritance of estates.... The
protection of the law, or of the State, would become substituted
for that of kinsmen.... In Tamilian society, where my brother's
son and my cousin's son are both my sons, a useful purpose may
have been subserved by drawing closer, in this manner, the kindred
bond; but in a civilized sense it would be manifestly unjust to
place either of these collateral sons upon an equality with my
own son for the inheritance of my estate. Hence the growth of
property and the settlement of its distribution might be expected
to lead to a more precise discrimination of the several degrees
of consanguinity if they were confounded by the previous system(14).
● 日本について、一夫一妻制
● (T)he marriage between single pairs and the descriptive system
of relationship had become established institutions in the Aryan
and Semitic families prior to or simultaneous with the commencement
of the civilization of their several branches. Neither is it improbable
that in the preceding ages of barbarism they possessed a classificatory
system(474).
