ABSTRACT
Even at the time it was published, Totem and Taboo (1913) struck those who were not Freud's loyal adherents as fanciful ± ``a `Just-So Story,' as it was amusingly called by a not unkind English critic.'' Despite the bad review ± by the anthropologist Robert R. Marett ± Freud held fast to his hypothesis, and in Chapter 10 of Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (1921), he returned to it.
