Lang delves into the primal instincts and behaviors of humans and how they have evolved into the social structures we see today. He examines the impact of the family, tribe, and community on the development of social norms and the establishment of laws. Lang also explores the role of religion, mythology, and superstition in shaping social behavior. Through his analysis, Lang provides insights into the fundamental principles that underpin human society and the forces that have shaped them over time. This book is a fascinating exploration of the roots of human society and the laws that govern it.1903.
