Totemism and Exogamy: A Treatise on Certain Early Forms of Superstition and Society V2 is a book written by James G. Frazer, which explores the origins and development of totemism and exogamy in various societies around the world. The book is a comprehensive study of the early forms of superstition and society, examining the role of totemism and exogamy in shaping cultural practices and beliefs.The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the origins of totemism and the second volume exploring the relationship between totemism and exogamy.

He also discusses the ways in which these practices have evolved over time, as societies have become more complex and interconnected.Overall, Totemism and Exogamy: A Treatise on Certain Early Forms of Superstition and Society V2 is a seminal work in the field of anthropology, providing a comprehensive and insightful analysis of two of the most important early forms of human social organization.In Four Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
