The Letourneau, Ch. (Charles) 1831-1902 creator text utu 2022 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Evolution of Marriage and of the Family" by Ch. Letourneau is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the origins and development of marriage and family structures, drawing comparisons from both human and animal behavior to provide insights into this fundamental societal institution. At the start of the book, the author lays out the scientific approach he will take in examining marriage and family, asserting that these constructs have evolved from simpler forms of social organization present in the animal kingdom. He discusses the biological underpinnings of marriage, asserting that human sexual behavior is rooted in basic biological and physiological processes that can be observed in other species. By framing marriage as a social response to biological drives and needs, Letourneau makes the case for understanding human relationships through the lens of evolutionary biology, thereby setting the stage for a broader discussion of marriage and family dynamics in various cultures and periods.
