About This Book

An interlinked series of sociological essays examines physiological and metabolic differences between the sexes and traces how those biological contrasts have influenced social roles, labor patterns, moral norms, marriage rules, and forms of social control. Drawing on biological, ethnological, and demographic evidence, the studies treat primitive industry, exogamy, modesty and clothing, sexual feeling, and comparative mental characteristics to link bodily habit with cultural institutions. The collection blends empirical data and theoretical interpretation to propose that variations in motor activity, energy use, and bodily predisposition contribute to differing social feeling and institutional arrangements.
