All modern [[society|social]] institutions arise from the [[evolution]] of the primitive [[custom]]s of your savage ancestors; the [[convention]]s of today are the modified and expanded customs of yesterday. What '''habit''' is to the [[individual]], custom is to the [[group]]; and group customs develop into folkways or [[tribal]] [[traditions]]--mass conventions. From these early beginnings all of the institutions of present-day human society take their [[humble]] [[origin]].
