Note 514 — Chapter VI · [168] DISCUSSION OF KINSHIP

This would be the place to point out the biological meaning of the social aspects of kinship and family; whether, e. g. the different social regulations of sexual intercourse, which in higher societies afford the basis to kinship, the different forms of family and kinship are the expression of biological laws. How far such would be possible could only be decided on the basis of a biological knowledge which the present writer does not possess.
