Meyer Fortes, one of the worlds most eminent social anthropologists, draws upon his many years of study and research in the field of kinship and social organiation to review the development of anthropological theory and method from Lewis Henry Morgan (1818-1881) to anthropologists of the 1960s. It is the central argument of this book that the structuralist theory and method developed by British and American anthropologists in the study of kinship and social organiation is the direct descendant of Morgans researches.
