Abstract
Although most sociologists and anthropologists have some familiarity with that portion of Freud (1918) that deals with the incest taboo and totemism, his discussion of pollution rules there has generally been overlooked. I test here three hypotheses with data from the Standard Cross Cultural Sample: one is derived from Freud (1918); a second from Stephens (1962); and a third from Douglas (1966). Only Freud's hypothesis is supported.
