THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. JULY, 1877. ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE FAMILY. By HERBERT SPENCER. IL. y. ee here we come in face of the fact before obliquely glanced at, that Sir Henry Maine’s hypothesis takes account of no stages in human progress earlier than the pastoral or agricultural. The groups he describes as severally formed of the patriarch, his wife, descendants, slaves, flocks, and herds, are groups implying that animals of several kinds have been domesticated. _But before the domestication of animals was achieved, there passed long: stages stretching back through prehistoric times. To understand the patri- archal group, we must inquire how it grew out.of the less-organized groups that preceded it. The answer is not difficult to find if we ask what kind of life the domestication of herbivorous animals entailed, Where pasture is abundant and covers large areas, the keeping of flocks and herds does not necessitate separation into very small clusters; instance the Co- manches, who, with their hunting, join the keeping of cattle, which the members of the tribe combine to guard. But where pasture is not abundant, or is distributed in patches, cattle ¢annot be kept to- gether in great numbers; ‘and their owners consequently have to part. Naturally, the division of the owners will be into such clusters as are already vaguely marked off in the original aggregate: individual men with such women as they have taken possession of, such- animals as they have acquired by force or otherwise, and all their other belong- ings, will wander hither and thither in search of food for their sheep and oxen. As already pointed out, we have, in prepastoral stages, as among the Bushmen, cases where scarcity of wild food necessitates parting into very small groups; and clearly when, instead of game vou. x1.—17
