About this book

Contrary to the Freudian claim that "an incestuous choice is in fact the first and regular one," this book demonstrates that sexual attraction is permanently inhibited by association during the first two to three years of life.

Reviews

Journal of Anthropological Research:
"The most voluminous and compelling findings yet on the foundations of human incest avoidance. . . . It is destined to be of enduring importance, not only for anthropology, but for the social sciences as a whole."

Journal of the History of Sexuality:
"A fine, and at times exquisite, causal analysis that has always been rare in anthropology."

Choice:
"Wolf has written a definitive anthropological study of several social and scientific controversies. His work is based on more than two decades of research."
