Friedrich Engels theorized that “primitive communism” first arose in social structures named for these people, citing Lewis Morgan’s Ancient Society. The Lithuanian scholar (10[1])Marija Gimbutas claimed that a social structure named for these people dominated in “Old Europe” until the invasion of the (10[1])Kurgan culture. The Moynihan Report controversially posited the “Black” form of a social structure named for these people as a downstream effect of over-incarceration.
