Résumé : In this paper, using the most common marriage rules occuring in primitive tribes, we construct a 16 classes model. The corresponding group of order 16 yields by morphic images quotients of order 2, 4 or 8. One observes among the Australian tribes several societies corresponding to those quotient groups; we make the assumption that distinct societies could have a unique origin, in which different collapsing of classes have appeared. © 1981.
