The book delves into the primal instincts of human beings and how they have influenced the development of social structures and laws. Lang examines the evolution of human societies from their earliest forms to modern times, drawing on anthropological research and historical evidence. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins of marriage, property rights, and political systems. Lang argues that these social laws are not arbitrary, but rather have evolved over time in response to human needs and desires. He also explores the role of religion and mythology in shaping social norms and customs. Social Origins: Primal Laws is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the development of human societies and the laws that govern them.1903. While best known for his translations of classical literature and as a collector of folk and fairy tales, Lang also wrote poetry, biographies, histories, novels, literary criticisms and even children's books. Lang's versatility was also shown in his works on folklore and on primitive religion. In Social Origins Lang deals with the origins of totemism, which is defined as the belief that people are descended from animals, plants, and other natural objects.
