Abstract
IN the study of culture-origins there seem to be three working hypotheses. According to one, institutions and material, inventions were, so to speak, “forced” upon man by the various exigencies of his life. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” According to another, religion, or rather magic, initiated such steps in progress. A third combines these; a step when made was enabled to persist and be improved by the influence of religion.
