Excerpt from Religious Chastity: An Ethnological Study
In ethnology as elsewhere evolutionary theory has been running amuck. Customs are described as if they were living species. Illustrations of their different phases are assembled from scattered societies and the composite is labeled a life history. Culture is treated as an independent growth.
