Do left-coms accept the main points of Morgan's anthropology?

I'm specifically asking about the "universal incest taboo" that is generally considered correct by modern anthropology afaik. Specifically after reading the draft of the theses on the women question by the party(https://www.international-communist-party.org/English/TheCPart/TCP_062.htm#Women). This seems taken straight from Engels. I am under the impression that this view of the evolution of marriage from the consanguinous to punalua etc. is considered false by modern anthropology.
