The book of Levis H. Morgan “an ancient Sociology” was published in 1877. Marx has read this
book and commented on it broadly. But after the death of Marx in 1884 A.D. Angels has pub-
lished a broad comment on it which was named “The Origin of the Family, Private Property and
The State”. In this book the mixed form is given of the common principle of Marx on the social
and economic history and on the institution related to kinship of predictive history presented
by Morgan.

ownership of community on the powers of production and today the form of family is seen

parent that there was no rules and regulation to regulate the sexual rela-
tions. Thus the whole society was a family.
