We must assume that sexual intercourse was irregular and haphazard up to the dawn of history. Every woman-within the limits of her own tribe, probably-belonged to every man. Whether this assumption is universally applicable or not, must remain doubtful; later ethnologists, more particularly von Westermarck, deny it because it does not apply to every savage tribe of the present day.

We must assume that sexual intercourse was irregular and haphazard up to the dawn of history. Every woman-within the limits of her own tribe, probably-belonged to every man. Whether this assumption is universally applicable or not, must remain doubtful; later ethnologists, more particularly von Westermarck, deny it because it does not apply to every savage tribe of the present day. Herodotus tells us that promiscuity existed in historical times in countries as far removed from each other as Ethiopia and the borders of the Caspian Sea. There can be no reasonable doubt that sexual intercourse took the form of group-marriage, the exchange or lending of wives, and other similar arrangements. The relationship between mother and child having been established by Nature herself, the first human family congregated round the mother, acknowledging her as its natural chief.

Autorenporträt
Emil Lucka (1877-1941) was an Austrian writer, dramatist, and philosopher. He began writing while working as a bank clerk in Vienna, publishing essays of cultural criticism in a number of philosophical periodicals. With the success of his popular biographies of composers, writers, and artists he was able to fully devote his time to his writing. His philosophical theories were heavily influenced by Immanuel Kant, and later his plays dealt with Kantian maxims of ethics. He was best known for his revolutionary theories of love and sex, which were elucidated in his books The Evolution of Love (1922) and Eros (1915).
