Overview

Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science: Forty-Eighth Meeting, Held at Columbus, Ohio; August, 1899 After calling attention to the fact that a similar condition exists among certain peoples of the Pacific Islands, he writes: Whether this code of descent came out of Asia or originated upon this continent is one of the questions incapable of proof and it must rest, for its solution, upon the weight of evidence or upon probable induction. Its existence among American races whose languages are radically different, and without any traditional knowledge among them of its origin, indicates a very ancient introduction and would seem to point to Asia as the birthplace of the system.
