Skeptical of the idea that any society could exist without laws, Pospisil immediately decided to live among and study the Kapauku. Learning the language and living as a participant-observer among them, Pospisil discovered that the supposedly primitive society possessed laws, rules, and social structures that were as sophisticated as they were logical. Drawing on his research and experiences among the Kapauku - he would stay with them five times between 1954 and 1979 - Pospisil broke new ground in the field of legal anthropology, holding a professorship at Yale, serving as the anthropology curator of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and publishing three books of scholarship on Kapauku law. This is a memoir of his experiences. 606 $aSociologie 610 $aOceania 610 $aHistory 615 04$aSociologie. 676 $a995.304092 700 $aPospísil$b Leopold Jaroslav$0320115 702 $aJirik$b Jaroslav$4edt 702 $aSoukup$b Martin$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009181203321 996 $aAdventures in the Stone Age$94395878 997 $aUNINA
