Totemism [EPUB ebook] 

Is there any human institution which can be safely called ‘Totemism’? Is there any possibility of defining, or even describing Totemism? Is it legitimate-is it even possible, with due regard for ‘methodology’ and logic-to seek for the ‘normal’ form of Totemism, and to trace it through many Protean changes, produced by various causes, social and speculative? I think it possible to discern the main type of Totemism, and to account for divergences.
