Thoughts on this classic? No libtard takes please.

Imo, an incredible book that clearly outlines the growth of the ideas of family, government, and property in human society from its most ancient forms to modern times. Morgan demonstrates that the institutions of humans across the globe were essentially the same in equally advanced societies, even though these societies may have existed thousands of miles and thousands of years apart from each other. Anthropologists may seethe about it, but they haven't done anything in the past 150 years that even comes close to this.
