Excerpt from Man, 1904, Vol. 4: A Monthly Record of Anthropological Science At some time during this process, through the adoption by two local groups of preferential customs in respect of eligible spinsters, the phratry organisation grew up. With the rise of kinship bars to marriage members of one connubial group found their choice still further limited to women of the other groups not of their own totem. This complication was too much for the savage brain (to-day capable of working still more complicated rules), and to simplify matters it was agreed to rearrange the totems or rather the kins, hitherto, we may suppose, distributed with more or less regularity between the two groups, in such a way that each kin belonged only to one phratry. Prior to this rearrangement the two totem-kins named after the connubial groups were, in Australia at least, in some way eliminated and disappeared.
