What reading level is Primitive Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This classification by matrimonial status and sex is not equivalent to a simple grading by age such as will be encountered elsewhere, since even elderly widows will dwell in one of the huts dedicated for the use of spinsters. Nevertheless, indirectly an appre- ciable correlation with the age factor is effected since among primitive tribes marriage as a rule is rarely deferred long beyond the girl's physiological maturity, while in the An- daman Islands the economic obstacles to early marriage f...or the men do not seem to exist. Indeed, the part played in native consciousness by age together with its correlates, conjugal and parental status, appears clearly from the full- ness of the relevant vocabulary, which permits an unam- biguous definition of any individual of either sex with ref- erence to age and matrimonial condition. Thus, an infant is designated by one term during the first year, by another during its second, by still another during the third and fourth years, while special words define the period from the fourth till the tenth, and from the eleventh to the twelfth years.
