I feel I must mention that the Morris book, which is  dated, and was 
intended for popular consumption in its day, isn't authoritative.   
It contains a lot of suppositions and assumptions  that are not 
clearly labeled as such in the text.  It's interesting to hear
what he has to say, but that is about all that is to be gained from
it.

Elaine Morgan's  _The_Descent_Of_Woman_ is another popular book 
which draws from the same research background and yet comes to quite 
different  conclusions in many places.   I recommend it to balance 
your  perspective.
