Abstract
An attempt to prove that crime had existed in primitive society, long before writing appeared, is made. It consisted of the assault on life, health, property, dignity of a man, on all those rules that were to protect him from other worldly forces and of breaking his welfare. Punishment could be very strict, up to the death penalty. The present article is based on works by L. Levy-Brühl, Z. Freud, D.D. Fraser, R. Osborne, E.B. Taylor, E. Durkheim, B. Malinowski, F. Engels.
