exists not only among primitive men but among apes and various other animals. Animals practise what is virtually marriage, wherever the co- operation of the male is necessary to the rearing of the: young. As a rule, animal marriages are mono- gamic and according to some au- thorities this is the case in parti- cular amongst the anthropoid apes. It seems, if these authorities are to be belloved, that these animals are not faced with the pro- blems that beset human communi- ties, since the male, once married, censes to be attracted to any other female, and the fernale, once mar ried, ceases to be attractive to any other male. Among the anthropoid apes, therefore, although they do not have the assistance of religion, sin is unknown, since instinct auf- fices to produce virtue.
