		Westermarck was apparently not technically ambitious in this respect, and the quality of the photographs is varied.

		Westermarck’s view was not like Hume’s, where right and wrong mean what people generally feel about the matter.
		Westermarck held that when an action is right or wrong, it is because the individual approves or disapproves.
		Usually adherents of this view point to the diversity of ethical practices, though as Sidgwick told the young Westermarck in his study at Cambridge, just as savages not understanding higher mathematics does not prove its relativity, there is no reason to believe anthropological evidence alone proves the self-evidence of subjectivism.

	Oedipus complex - New World Encyclopedia Preview
		Following the direction of Rank's theory in pushing the decisive moment further back in the infant's life, Melanie Klein, who worked with very young children with moderate to severe psychological disorders, came to believe that aggressive tendencies were more critical than sexual ones.
		There have also been criticisms from anthropologists such as Bronisław Malinowski and Edvard Westermarck.
		Malinowski's studies of the Trobriand Islanders have often been cited as a challenge to Freud's conviction that the Oedipus complex is a universal phenomenon.

	Ethics - MSN Encarta
		These studies reemphasized the different concepts of right and wrong held by different societies; therefore, it was believed, most such concepts had a relative rather than universal validity.
		Outstanding among ethical concepts based on an anthropological approach are those of the Finnish anthropologist Edvard A. Westermarck in Ethical Relativity (1932).
		Modern ethics is profoundly affected by the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud and his followers and the behaviorist doctrines based on the conditioned-reflex discoveries of the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov.

	Exogamy
		Different theories have been proposed to account for the origin of exogamy.
		Edvard Westermarck said it arose in the aversion to marriage between blood relatives or near kin, that is, in horror of incest.
		From a genetic point of view aversion to breeding with close relatives results in fewer congenital diseases because, where one gene is faulty there is a greater chance that the other - being from a different line - is of another functional type and can take over.
