Louis-Vincent Thomas

    Louis-Vincent Thomas was a French sociologist, anthropologist, and ethnologist with a specialization in Africa, who also founded the field of thanatology. His writings explore socialism, burial practices, and systems of thought in sub-Saharan Africa. He conducted comparative studies on death across Western and African cultures, often challenging the notion that anthropology and sociology are distinct disciplines.
