Lewis Henry Morgan was a pioneering American anthropologist and social theorist, renowned for his foundational work on kinship and social structure, as well as his influential theories of social evolution. His meticulous ethnographic studies, particularly of the Iroquois, stand as significant contributions to the field. Morgan's insights into kinship led him to be an early proponent of the theory that Indigenous peoples of the Americas migrated from Asia in ancient times. His social theories profoundly influenced later Leftist thinkers, uniquely positioning him as the only American social theorist cited by Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud.
