The book The Origin of the State (1927) by the eminent American anthropologist Robert Lowie was a continuation and development of the themes raised by him in his book Primitive Society (1920). Lowie considers not so much the historical causes of the emergence of the state - economic, demographic or political, but rather the external features of states and hierarchical systems. He pays special attention to the question of whether the growth of the state was always accompanied by a transition from kinship ties as the sole basis of political organization to the principle of territoriality, and shows the existence of various forms of territorial associations and responsibilities in primitive, non-state societies, emphasizing their importance as a possible prototype of centralized coercive government.
He also demonstrates the extent to which territoriality, cohabitation and common proximity underlie what is usually called kinship ties, and sees kinship not so much as genealogical and biological ties, as was typical of his time, but as a product of social relations.
