Totemism and Exogamy Volume 1 is a book written by James G. Frazer, which explores the early forms of superstition and society. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on totemism and the second part on exogamy. In the first part, Frazer examines the practice of totemism, which involves the belief in a spiritual connection between a group of people and a particular animal or plant. He discusses the various ways in which totemism is expressed in different cultures around the world, and explores the social and psychological functions that it serves. In the second part of the book, Frazer turns his attention to exogamy, which is the practice of marrying outside of one's own social group. He discusses the origins of exogamy, its prevalence in different cultures, and the social and psychological implications of the practice. Throughout the book, Frazer draws on a wide range of anthropological and historical sources to support his arguments. He also provides numerous examples from different cultures to illustrate the concepts he discusses. Overall, Totemism and Exogamy Volume 1 is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of two important early forms of superstition and society.
